sorry

Sorry it’s been so long. There are various reasons for this: partly because I felt a bit strange the whole time in Bangkok, and partly because since we’ve been home we’ve had no internet access. A chap promised to turn up this afternoon and have a look at our connection, but of course he didn’t turn up - so by the time you read this it will be even longer since anything got posted. I’m truly sorry.

Bangkok was all a bit of a blur of skyscrapers, scary shopping malls and tour guides who looked like Gok (and had about as much interesting local history to tell us as Gok would have, were he there, but he wasn’t - he was probably wowing someone with an amazing High Street find that everyone would mistake for designer, woo hoo. I suspect that’s what our guide would rather have been doing too, but instead he was ferrying our ungrateful arses around).

Hubby and I have returned from holiday considerably more tired than when we left, which isn’t how holidays are supposed to be, surely? Still, the kids got to stroke snakes, feed catfish, and do various other things that they don’t get to do in Kathmandu. And it was nice to be somewhere where the toilets were clean and it was safe to eat ice cream and sea food, but it’s fandabidozi to be back home again.
