I got to my guest house at nearly midnight on Tuesday the 26th, spent the next day wandering around the Khao San area, and up to the Chao Phraya river, stopping to eat in little places, taking random photos, and reading my book by the river (getting an almost sunburn that looked painful even though it…
Hi everyone! Well, I made it back to Australia! I got in to Sydney lunchtime Tuesday and to Canberra the next evening. Last night I slept in my old room in my old bed. Mum made the bed up with a blanket and two doonas and I thought I was going to be too hot but…

High School camp (grade 9-12) was April 13-15 and we had about 160 people. It was the least stressed I’ve ever been at any event I’ve helped organise. The next weekend (April…
Hi Everyone, So I’m ready for a busy week! It’s amazing how full my week even dropping 30 hours from work…!! I sang at church this morning, which was lovely. I miss singing!! I get to sing at both services next week, I’m looking forward to that. I don’t think I’ve sung in the bi-lingual…

Hi everyone, I’ve been meaning to send an update for… well, ages. I kept thinking I’d wait til I had photos organised to send along but… yeah, not so good with that. But I’ve picked a few randoms – hope you like them. So after I got back from Australia, Amanda and Andrew headed home,…
Good morning, all! I don’t do New Year’s resolutions, but if I was going to, I might add “send more update emails” to the list. I really want to stay in touch better this year. I know that some of you enjoy reading my emails but aren’t so hot on hitting the reply button –…
