MIDSUMMER MADNESS

I have made a deal with myself to finish the writing of my book in the next 2 weeks so I will take a break from my blogs until I finish. I reckon I have about ten or so thousand words to go . This is my 95th blog !! Whats been going … Continue reading MIDSUMMER MADNESS
Kampot Hot Pot
This week has been so very hot 24 hours a day, except when it rains for about a minute every few days. Kampot is having a dry July. It is raining elsewhere. When you wake up to 30 degrees overnight with humidity at 75% you pray for rain to cool down and water your plants . Ahh my plants , still nothing lanky legged seeds … Continue reading Kampot Hot Pot

COST OF LIVING KAMPOT
Today I thought I’d give you a lowdown on costs to live monthly here in Kampot Cambodia. Long term if you like. All costs are in US dollars as they are used here extensively. At the moment visa requirements have changed while the pandemic is occurring. If it goes back to normal and you want to stay more than thirty days, you can extend visa … Continue reading COST OF LIVING KAMPOT

PASSWORD PANDAMONIUM
To say I was unduly stressed these last few days would be an understatement. Being on the road you get used to being able to get what you want with a click of a key. Sadly my key was on caps when I went to check my online banking. Straight away I was locked out. I went to reset it but they send a code … Continue reading PASSWORD PANDAMONIUM
