August 30, 2007 | 4 Comments
We had spent the morning driving around and also bought the Honda Click, and returned home with the car load of fertilizer for the rice paddies. Me and Nan’s uncle offloaded the truck, and I went to park it.
So I backed up into a driveway to get the bloody thing turned around and there was […]

So I was delighted the other day when I was able to secure a kilo of this king […]

One afternoon Nan was investigating the possibility that I may like to have some chicken with my rice. Well, she knows that I like barbecued chicken with sticky rice and that sweet chili sauce.
But this time it was going to be cooked Isaan style. I was in for a surprise, and the end result was […]

Honda Click Review
August 24, 2007 | 2 Comments
The Honda Click is a fairly newish model from Honda. It has 110cc liquid cooled engine and a V-matic continuously variable transmission, whatever that is supposed to mean.
Well, I guess it means I don’t have to worry about changing gears. And that the engine has some sort of fancy cooling system.
Whats important to me is […]

August 23, 2007 | 2 Comments

She’ll do anything to avoid having to go outside. […]

August 22, 2007 | 2 Comments
We got ourselves installed in the hut, and all the stuff we bought were taken out of boxes and put in it’s places. I was of course eager to test the TV and DVD surround setup.
Okay so I plug it all in, switch everything on and…the sound coming out of the speakers are crap. Okay, […]
