Morning Swim......

Well I am back from my morning swim and slightly disappointed that it only takes me about 40 minutes to swim the mile. Maybe 35 minutes. I was hoping that I was swimming for an hour....

Anyway..... this is how my morning usually goes, well today's anyway.

1. Wake up and for some reason have a rant about the Arabs, Dubai and capitalisms downfalls - that was just today for some reason might I add.

2. Get on Champion the Wonder Bike (see earlier blog). We set a new record on Saturday night by the way, 120 km/h. That's it now, I'm no longer after setting records. Anway, I have taken a photo of her today as she deserves her little bit of glory and a space on the virtual universe that is the tinternet, so here she is...

(2a). A friend of mine who exists essentially only on the tinternet (Don't know why I've gone all Phil Kaye) who writes a dating website blog has requested/suggested I post a few more photos. I always forget to post them but today after my morning outburst of mad karma I decided I would post some pics, I can be forgetful without meaning to be. Anyway, her blog is @ erm, bugger, forgotten! I will post it later. Anyway, I suspect she'll be harping on about how she hasn't had any Valentines cards, had around 600 messages form PoF and/or maybe, just maybe she has some anecdotes about Valentines Day or maybe the top ten maddest from the 600 messages. So like missing my blog, if you also miss hers as a rsult of my forgetfulness, you aren't really missing much in the grand scheme of things. Believe you me though, on PoF (Plenty of Fish - it's a mad house) there are thousands of mentalists on there, must be a few decent ladies out there though, and blokes for the ladies. I digress yet again.

3. Once on Champion I head down to Nai Harn Beach for my swim. However on the way there I stop at my latest favourite 7am place, the French Bakery, where I have a croissant and a delicious quaffee (coffee). And here it is...... Yes, it has come to this, I am posting a picture of a cafe on the internet in a blog that has even started to bore me to death..... My life has really come down to this.... has it really? Yes it obviously has.....Really David, what the f*ck is going on, get a grip.........

4. I then get carried away with myself and decide that with all the beauty around me I should take a photo of what in hindsight is, and without hindsight still is...... A telegraph pole and a load of wires....... Amazing Dave.... get ready to be entered into the blog of the year....... A sure fire winner....... Jesus Christ, a telegraph pole..... Oh, and how arty...... the sun rising from behind a sign....... this sign unfortunately isn't saying "Get a life"......  Incredible photography Dave........ genius at work, somewhere..... else.

5. Swiftly moving on. Especially as someone was watching me taking that non art house photo. I then make my way down to the beach where I have taken a few snaps, I must admit it is all very peaceful and a pleasure to be able to do breast stroke down to the end there. Then I turn around and head back doing the freestyle tastic front crawl. All without stopping now might I add. I did add.

6. As you can see it's still sort of sunrise. And if I turn to the right a little bit this is the view of the bay. Unlike Otis Reading I am not sat on the dock of it, as there is no dock. People get boated in on the little power dingy, that just to confuse you, is not in the photograph.

7. Then after my swim I get back on Champion and whizz back to the Happy Elephant where I am "Delighted" to see the Crazy Italian lady in her bikini......

By the way, before Champion there was another Champion whose battery died, I've just noticed from looking at a photo of her..... check who is in the back ground... pre day glo, arm raised.......... spooky....... That was my first day in Thailand, 10 days before I moved to the Happy Elephant.......

Anyway. That was my morning up until that point. I have just dropped off a weeks worth of washing at the laundrette - this blog just get's even more exciting - which will cost me 3 pounds to get washed and ironed. Bargain.... And then I nipped along to the Bamboo Cafe for my fruity muesli with yoghurt and another deliciously caffeine full coffee.

So adios campers. I am now going to make a plan for the rest of my stay.

Bali on Saturday for three days, then here until the 28th Feb. Then I need to decide do I come home, stay for longer, go on a tour of Vietnam, go to Australia, or who knows.

Peace out. x
