So basically this is it. Hoad's blog finished. I am now in Ko Phnangan, Thailand spending my last days on a beautiful white sand beach, doing a couple of hours yoga a day, lots of swimming and eating the best Thai food ever before I head back home.
Yesterday the sun had a ring around it which was a little weird but after numerous conversations with my fellow beachites I think it can be put down to the full moon on the 20th. The girls, Carys and Laura, are from Hackney ... such a small world.
Finally I just wanted to say a few big thank yous which I know sounds all very awards ceremony-like but I really do so .... to Emma for sorting out my mortgage - no mean feat and I am sorry it was so stressful but also for the most useful going away present - namely the pink whistle which I have of course used every single day of the trip ... ; Tobes for looking after Hoad stuff and for the incredible NYC eyemask that has been the envy of many fellow travellers - I cannot wait to see you, Lina and the Gloop; Jessie for looking after the flat - I hope it has behaved itself as well as I know Tabby will have; Emilie for showing me how to set up and keep up the blog and for the incredible bag of skin goodies; Gill and Tim for looking after my shoes, the incredible Himalaya defying socks and earplugs (I have one left and am keeping it for you to marvel at); Joris for advising me on downloading photos in the early days; Dan, Resh, Irene, Tobes, Tom, Gill, Fleur, Joris, Ben, Tanya, Emilie and Heath for buying me the Ipod - invaluable but just pipped to the post by the ever so useful pink whistle; Irene for the adapter and for being 'Renie; Ben and Tanya for the Point It book which has provided endless amusement to everyone I have shown it to; Elke for the bronzing powder so I can keep the dream alive for a little longer; Dan & Loo for introducing me to Elliott Smith ... this is getting silly ... but also everyone at BB for the stuff and for making going away so easy and finally my family for being my unique and wonderful family. I miss all of you buggers and cannot wait to see you.
