Finally I am confident I will get home in December. Covid numbers in Victoria have dropped to zero and very small in the rest of the country so I am hoping on the 22nd of November they will announce the opening of Melbourne to international flights. A week ago I was perusing the real estate site in Melbourne as I have been doing for weeks … Continue reading KAMPOT COUNTDOWN
One thing to be positive and happy about my beloved Melbourne town has opened up after 119 days of severe lockdown. The relief and happiness I felt when the Premier announced freedom .

Its been great getting a lot of rain, especially the rice farmers although Northern Cambodia has been hit hard with floods wiping out 1,000’s of acres of just planted rice. They expect it to rain constantly for a week or more. I am waiting with … Continue reading Rainy days Kampot

This is my 95th blog !! Whats been going … Continue reading MIDSUMMER MADNESS
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
