You might remember me from Creative Latitude, Designers Who Blog, NO!SPEC, or Women Learn Thai. These days I’m hanging out in Devon with The Man, three Maine Coons and a crazy Staffy. Unless noted, photos are my own.

When I was a kid living in Alaska on a US Airbase, I was taken to see a computer that filled an entire room (it was one of those ‘take your kids to work’ days).

We were instructed to wear rubber soles, remove any coins from our pockets, plus take off any jewelry.

Fast forward to now…

It was a first for me. Quite clever.

Two years ... I'd be grabbing scissors to wack my own if I had to (or pull it up and out of the way) :D

Mostly men? In my experience, women's hair (western expat anyway) wasn't cheap to get done in Thailand. I briefly bounced around here and there, but always came back to my hairdresser in BKK. I was with him pretty the best part of 17 years (even flew back from CM when I was living there).

Vets have a special sand that doesn't absorb water. Makes collecting pee a whole lot easier :)

Each morning Saxton meows outside the kitchen door to remind me to give him his meds slathered in butter (nutracys+ and Prednisolone).

Sedgwick watches on from the stairs, pretending that he doesn’t want some too.

I no longer need to worry about nasty hearted monkeys destroying stuff, but I do have to protect newly topped up beds from neighbourhood cats who mistake them for litter boxes. A pox on them all.
Three raised beds covered with garden sails, weighed down with squash and whatever I had handy.

The Man wears many caps. Yesterday he took a pee sample to the Vet (Saxton is ill), mowed the lawn, picked up his specs, made pizza (yum), then skimmed through a thesis (again). Today he’s off to Oxford to act as External Examiner for the previously mentioned thesis.

Me? I’m shoveling poo and …
The remains of a dumpy bag of poo on the left, wheelbarrow filled with black plant pots on the right.

Do you have major monkey issues? Where I lived before they'd come in through kitchen windows, ransack the cabinets, shit on counters, chase kids home from school ...

I’ll ask if it’s the same here … but it took a serrated knife to get them separated (no way it’d go back on).

Saxton refuses to look at me. I can’t tell if it’s from the pain killers I shoved down his throat or because I shoved painkillers down his throat.

It does make you wonder if they sent impossible to open childproof caps just to be annoying. We don’t have kids.

Grrr. FFS. I’ll have to open it with a hammer, then pour the pills into a baggie.
Child proof bottle from the Vet.
