In yesterday's post, I mentioned that I was working on a new project to try and alleviate the day-to-day boredom of staying at home. That project is a means to (finally!) organize the vast amount of postcards that I have sitting around in plastic bins such as the one pictured in today's featured photo. It's … Continue reading Daily Phuket #56: 10 June 2021 – Postcard Project

Daily Phuket #54: 23 May 2021 – Saturday AND Sunday Stamps
What a whirlwind few days but I will keep it brief. Basically, our company (agency) lost the contract bidding process for the bulk of our schools for the upcoming term which means that a whole lot of teachers are now out of work whenever the schools are able to reopen.

I don’t know if it’s because I look forward to seeing new Christmas stamps (one of my thematic collecting interests) or if it’s because I always feel relieved … Continue reading Philatelic Pursuits: November 2014
On Stamps and Inspiration
Last September, I blogged about returning to my lifelong interest in collecting stamps, detailing my personal philatelic background and announcing my plans to resume the nhobby. But as with so many of my good intentions here in Thailand, this one quickly derailed. Oh, I did buy a few new issues and their accompanying First Day … Continue reading On Stamps and Inspiration
