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

I went with Jeni as planned to visit her but the dodgy bridge to Fish Island was being repaired,closed to traffic, only one way for a long time& only open for motorbikes .As the vet was to meet her on his bike I said for her to walk across and I would take the … Continue reading Goodbyes A Plenty
KAMPOT RAINY SEASON YET?
After my one week break I intended to write this yesterday but the little puddy cat is sick. Two days ago , a week after her op after a great recovery she began her antics again. Getting stuck up a tree, jumping around and playing with a stray . A day later she wasn’t herself, all quite, wouldn’t eat or play with the ball. Jeni … Continue reading KAMPOT RAINY SEASON YET?

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

It is 7 am I am sitting outside , I am hot already. This humidity just lingers , dark clouds come a breeze blows up and we are relieved but the clouds with their thunder move past the breeze drops and I am left all sweaty again. If you don’t go for a walk to the shops by at least ten am you can’t even … Continue reading KAMPOT BEFORE THE RAINS

All good things must end. Now the mango glut has come to an end and so has my consumption of them, there are still many around but I overdid it with my passion for them , I still have a few in my fridge but green oranges have taken their place. I juice two a day and have a good hit of vitamin C . … Continue reading COCONUTS &GREEN ORANGES.
