Monday And Somewhere I'd Rather Be...

What can you say about Mondays that hasn't been said before? I remember reading somewhere that one way to get over the post-holiday blues was to use your holiday photos in a screensaver. I've certainly done that before and it is a great way to remember the good times you had. So, I'm going to use the same approach for Mondays. And today's picture is from Ao Phra Nang, Krabi in Southern Thailand.

I first visited Krabi with my mate Barry back in 1990. The beach was Ao Phra Nang and there was nothing but a few huts there. It was quiet. Too much so for us. We even built a sand-woman for something to do. What can I say? We were young and impatient!

It was however, one of the most beautiful beaches I ever saw and the memory of it stayed with me forever. Funnily enough, Barry tells me he has a picture of it on his desk at work so it struck him likewise. Earlier this year, we returned to Krabi for the first time in 20 years to see how it has changed. It's as beautiful as ever. A lot more people though!

The Misread


I frequently misread signs. Who knows? Maybe it's a mild case of dyslexia! I usually find the misread sign quite amusing.

Like the "Do not overtake turning vehicles" sign on the back of semi-trailers, which I always see as "Do not overtake overturning vehicles". This, to me, would appear to be quite an obvious piece of advice. Then again, looking at this photo, it would hardly seem to matter...

Today I walked passed a Thai restaurant that appeared to be offering "Causal Dining"
