Random Occurrences I don’t know what I’m going to write about at the moment, but I doubt if any one idea is worthy of an article all to itself, so I have called it random occurrences. Neem wanted to go to one of the nearby villages today to help a friend with the ‘Hundred Days’ …
New Books I’m going to blow my own trumpet in this blog post (for a change) and tell you about the twenty-two new books I have spent the last two days uploading to Lulu and Kobo. I have had pretty poor experiences with both of these companies in the past, but I will tell you …

Welsh Tits – who would have thought that someone would misconstrue my meaning? They are not English tits, they are our own, and we love them!
Our Garden Haircut My wife normally deals with the day to day running of the garden, and takes it in her stride. I think it’s one of her favourite pastimes, but three or four times a year she has to call in help. When this happens it’s usually after a period of exceptional growth like …
Full Circle – Lek6 I have not been getting on well with Lek6, the sixth volume in the series ‘Behind The Smile ~ The Story of Lek, A Bar Girl in Pattaya‘ or at least not in comparison with the others. I have written 16,000 words which amounts to about fifteen percent of the 112,000 …
Clouded Monitor This is an update on the Clouded Monitor I told you about yesterday that has been living in our garden for the last two days. I asked Neem if she had seen him today and she said that she hadn’t. Neither had I, but a friend reported having seen him twice, just wandering …
Garden Visitors I haven’t written anything in this, my diary, for a few days for a couple of reasons, but I am writing today because of two special garden visitors. Anyway, first why I haven’t been keeping my diary. Three or four days ago, I started writing ‘Behind The Smile’ 6, which I call either …
August Site Stats As usual at about this time of the month, I will give a brief analysis of the visitors to this site for the benefit of anyone who’s remotely interested. Hopefully, that will include current and prospective advertisers and other bloggers who are wondering how they are doing in the scheme of things. …
Starting a New Novel I have been thinking of starting a new novel for a while now, because I feel at a loose end unless I’m writing. That’s why I bombard my regular readers with posts like this every day. The truth is that I have been looking for a subject for a month, while …
Microsoft Updates A few days ago, I remembered that Microsoft Windows 10 was going free, so I gave the necessary details and installed it. I was upgrading from 7, which I have always been happy with, and when I had finished, a part of me was wondering why I had done it. After all, each …
August, My Favourite Month. I don’t have any specific subject to talk about today, so this piece will be a ramble, as I sit in my favourite local shop enjoying a beer. August has always been my favourite month – my birthday and school holidays probably started that off. In fact, when my mother was …
Education In a way, people have to be educated when they are young and open to suggestion. It is also a time in their lives when they would otherwise be least able to make a financial contribution. However, for education to be most successful, the pupil must want to learn. I and all my school …
Language and Thought It is clear that man invented language. The first grunts may have been warnings like: ‘Get off my stone, my bed or my spouse,’ and the first shrieks probably warned of danger, but as people are born into a society where language, in any form, is already being used, the language may …
Gossip and Spitefulness Gossip and spitefulness are such social inhibitors, don’t you find? There is what is called gossip, but that doesn’t have to be spiteful, I am talking more about purposefully malicious, spiteful gossip. The kind that makes many or even most people worry about being perceived to be friendly, or over-friendly, or even …
Myths and Pseudo-wisdom Myths and pseudo-wisdom surround us and so can, or probably do, play a significant part in our lives, and I should imagine that that role is greater than most of us realise. Here are a few examples old and new of myths and pseudo-wisdom, but I’m sure you can think of many …
‘i should of known’ I know that this period of time, August, is a time that is greatly concerned with education, since exam results are being released now in many countries. I hope that all pupils and students get better grades than they expected, but I am not so inexperienced as not to know that …
Embarrassment in Thailand Face is just about the biggest motivator in Thai society; face and money, which means status, and status confers Face, as does increasing years, a good job (money and status), any uniform, or being a teacher, which is the noblest profession after the monkhood. Face is difficult to explain because it is …
Captain of the Darts Team I don’t know about you, but I am not really a team player. I have tried to be, more than several times, but it has never really worked out in the long, or even the medium term. Perhaps it stems from being the eldest child: you are alone in your …
