WWW Wednesdays is a bookish meme that was formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm and revived by "fledgling writer" Sam A. Stevens on Taking on a World of Words. To participate, you just answer the Three W's: What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you’ll read next? Currently … Continue reading WWW Wednesdays #2

WWW Wednesdays #1
This is another bookish meme that I have never participated in before now. It was formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm and revived by "fledgling writer" Sam A. Stevens on Taking on a World of Words. To participate, you just answer the Three W's: What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What … Continue reading WWW Wednesdays #1
Sunday Summary #21
Welcome to Sunday Summary, the meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. This was a real "back to the real world" kind of week hampered by the fact that both Kan and I were quite ill up until late in the week. We both blame the overpowering air-conditioning in our … Continue reading Sunday Summary #21
Sunday Summary #3
Welcome to Sunday Summary. This is a meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. It replaces previous series such as Sunday Salon, Daily Phuket and Phuket Weekly. This week of 29 August to 4 September just seemed to fly by. I wasn't much busier than last week but add in … Continue reading Sunday Summary #3
Sunday Summary #2
Welcome to Sunday Summary. This is a meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. It replaces previous series such as Sunday Salon, Daily Phuket and Phuket Weekly. This past week (22-28 August 2022) was busy and wet. Aside from one four-hour Sunday morning webinar, a Thai cultural celebration on Friday … Continue reading Sunday Summary #2
Sunday Summary #1
Welcome to Sunday Summary. This is a meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. It replaces previous series such as Sunday Salon, Daily Phuket and Phuket Weekly. Following a long period of relative inactivity, I find myself wanting to write more and more. While I maintained a private journal during … Continue reading Sunday Summary #1
Phuket Weekly 2022 #6 (09-13 February)
This will be a VERY BRIEF post as I only took two photos and NOTHING different happened all week. Well, other than the number of daily cases of COVID-19 in Thailand surged from 10,000 to more than 16,400 yesterday (it's around 15,800 today). I ended up staying at home all week -- teaching online from … Continue reading Phuket Weekly 2022 #6 (09-13 February)
Phuket Weekly 2022 #5 (01-08 February)
The first week of February saw a BIT more variety than the last two weeks of January, but not much. I did get out-and-about the evening of the first (the start of the Lunar New Year) to take some photos, my Sunday morning in-house students finally returned for the first time since December, and I … Continue reading Phuket Weekly 2022 #5 (01-08 February)
Phuket Weekly 2022 #4 (22-31 January)
Another wholly uneventful week, largely the same as the one previous with a couple of exceptions. First, the teachers returned to our school to continue our online lessons following a week spent doing the same from home. I suppose they got wind that we were actually enjoying working from home, free of the problems that … Continue reading Phuket Weekly 2022 #4 (22-31 January)
Phuket Weekly 2022 #1 (1-7 January)
It has been a bumpy start to the New Year, to say the least. In Thailand, we have entered our Fifth Wave of COVID-19 and yesterday the government raised the Restriction Level to 4 (out of a possible 5 which is complete lockdown); they are anticipating 10,000 cases per day by the end of the … Continue reading Phuket Weekly 2022 #1 (1-7 January)
