hill village...finally...another day up in the hills on the bike, almost the possible sunset that i had been hoping for over the hills but about 45 minutes before the clouds appeared and the possible was gone

and this portion of thailand and chiang mai runs towards its endpoint in a typical manner...having got my dates wrong it turns out that my place is full tomorrow and that i need to find a room...which may not be as easy as normally as tomorrow and the next day is the loi prabong festival, my reason for staying on and the streets are busy...so today, as the rains begin again, i think that i will be searching for somewhere to stay...maybe needing to delve into the emergency funds in order to finaance something a little more upmarket than my comfort zone allows...who knows...

it's a bit odd, have fallen into a nice wee routine...morning macchiato, massage, reiki and snake road and then off to the tiny bar to people watch and later off to play pool...all a bit easy the last few days, maybe too easy...and sitting scribbling, trying to get the tumblr stuff into some king of order which is kind of, vaguely and slowly happening although the neverending blog on srinigar and kashmir is still my stumbling block, just can't get the bloody thing to read correctly, a struggle for the last three months and more but today, having left it alone and silenced for a goodly while maybe i find somewhere after room search and massage and see if i can figure out what's wrong with it...and here we find my blip turning into some kind of online diary removed from the image the words tumble off into fragments of periphery, begin to alter again...which is probably just as well as my camera eye seems unfocussed and i begin to fear that i create that most dreaded thing, a collection of holiday snaps....
