Hi everyone It is now 7:30 pm and the temperature is 33 degrees with 70% humidity, I'm sitting on the balcony writing this with the sweat dripping down down my back into my knickers, down my arms and dripping off my forehead onto the computer - it is not pleasant and doesn't bode well for sleep tonight. The last week has been busy for many different reasons, but an enjoyable one despite the dreadful things which have happened here. Wednesday morning was bligh...

Hi, I have just posted one blog and the aim is to send another one tonight, but the internet has just started playing up again, so I may be defeated. This last week has been about working again, socialising and a visit yesterday to Phnom Kulen or Mountain of Lychees, the source of all the stone for the temples and an important shrine for Buddhists and Hindus who visit on pilgrimages.

Hi everyone, hope that you are all well and coping with the October weather. I spent some time having a very disjointed chat on Face Time with Meryl yesterday telling her dry it was here and that we hadn't had any rain for 12 days.
