Yes really mate , the wife is quite happy with her new found foreign food so if we eat rice 2 or 3 times per week its the norm.Quote:

My wife too and she prepares it all the time. But that love stops short of skipping the rice to go with it.:)Quote:

Thats a fair bit of income Marmite , my missus has just bought 6 rai of rice , dont think we,ll get very fat off that income but with her rubber trees it will all help.Quote:

We actually found a little shop here that stocks a lot of those brands at a fraction of the price, though the ranges and sizes are limited.
I think they're factory over runs or stuff that fell off the back of a truck.
She ended up with a jacket, brand name Monsoon. I never heard of it but my English mates wife reckons it's a brand so what do I know.
The equivalent of GBP17.
I'm saving up for the other one.Quote:

^ You got a pet sealion or something Mr KT?
Why so many fish?
Will they be left there for 36 or 48 months?
Is your friend from Wollongong?Quote:

No they will not smell if dried properly,but she wants to post some to mum in Pattani,as she is marooned at the moment because of flooding think they will stink when or if they get there.Quote:

The plants are getting confused. I have taken a few photos this morning in my garden, all within a few minutes.

Endless blue across and above.
These are a couple of weeks old, but still nice. They are from my trip to Oman with a friend.
These are from Wadi Shab. I included the signs so you can see what / where Wadi Shab is. For the second sign, most people walk, but there are some who like to take the boat across. There are 1000 baiza in 1 Omani riyal.
I'll start a thread on this amazing trip only after Christmas. I still need to finish both of my last UK threads. :chitown:

I will probably be back in dubai with the family in april.
A trip to Oman with friends is on the cards.
What was the waterfall like?
April is a great time to come here, weatherwise. I'll probably be in the UK then, but I can give you some tips for Oman. Just PM me close to the time and I'll give you great recommendations of where to go and what to see etc.
I didn't go to the waterfall, but my two friends did. I had a really bad headache at that point. :( They both said it was amazing. Our one friend who lives in Sur had been there before.
You have to swim to get to the waterfall which is in a cave. You have to squeeze your head through the small entrance or you can go in underwater.
Some people wrap their cameras really well to get photos or video of the waterfall. The whole area is amazing. This was my second time to Oman and to that very place.
Here's a pic of the cave entrance

Love the colours of Thai fishing harbours. :)
My mother has a coastal property at home which she resides in during the summer, everytime she's out here she's in awe of them and commenting 'why can't people make that sort of effort back home'.
She's got a point, it does, literally, add colour to a dreary profession.
Even though the first sign says swimming is not allowed?Quote:
