Ava and I fly off for a fortnight's holiday in Thailand later today. It will be her first time to see the country (outside of the airport, anyhow) while I saw it twice before. It's nice to experience it together this time though. We are hoping to meet some old friends of mine in Chiang Mai, and then head on to an island for some sun (though it's currently rain there, apparenlty!) and perhaps do some scuba diving. Then we'll return via Bangkok for some retail therapy. Back mid-August (...and if you are a Chinese burglar reading this, I have a big dog guarding my flat! ...and congratulations on your excellent English language reading skills, too!)
