She is Planting
May 18, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Just in with a short update on Nan and her activities today. The lass asked me the other day what food we like to eat in Norway. And I must have talked to much about our relationship to the potatoe instead of rice. So naturally she spent the day at the farm planting potatoes. Talk […]

The Meaning of it All
May 18, 2007 | 3 Comments
Have you ever wondered what the meaning of life is? A lot of very smart people throughout human history have. And I am surprised that none of them managed to figure that one out. It’s so self evident and simple that perhaps all those smart peoples brains simply shorted out and did not think of […]

Food
May 17, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Since today is the most important day in human history, namely Norway’s national day, I decided to do some home cooking. I have been lazy lately and ordered in, or eaten out.
I like to cook. It’s just that my range is fairly limited. At home it’s no problem. I just go to the supermarket, […]

Today it’s the 17th of May. Norways constitution day. Basically it was a bunch of rich folks, army officers, and a few farmers and priests who gathered on a farm in Southern Norway, elected a Danish prince as king, wrote a constitution, and hey presto, Norway was nation again… for a few dramatic summer […]

Communications

One thing is to communicate with your teerak across the language barrier. Another is to do it over a terrible phone line. I often get some kind of answering service instead of Nan when I try to give her a call. Usually it’s the Thai service I get.
Fine, so I try again, and after a […]

Home, Sweet Home
May 15, 2007 | Leave a Comment
As Nan was chatting away about her day the other day, she said something. I did not quite register it right then, and she uttered them so casually that over a terrible mobile phone connection, I may have missed them completely. But it made me realise why I am falling for this wonderful woman, and […]

Howdy (Sawatdee in Texan),
My situation “may†be a little different than most who first come here looking for love. I first came to Thailand in 1971 as a 35 yr. old American soldier who had already been to 8 other countries outside his own, and fell in love with the country.
From that […]

I Won a Day

The airliner I have booked my ticket with had to reschedule all their flights out of here, so I had to re-book my ticket to Bangkok. So instead of arriving on the 3rd of June at 6.30am as planned, I will be arriving at 2.30pm on the 2nd instead. This will make it simpler for […]

Frozen Thai

I came across a news article today in the Asia Times about the community of about 70 Thais who has made it up to the Svalbard archipelago. Svalbard is located only a few hundred kilometers from the North Pole, between the Arctic Sea, The Norwegian Sea, the Barents Sea and the Greenland Sea and […]
