A woman in bed is better than a hot-water bottle!

Hot water bottles dont talk.

Anyone else getting SAD?

Nope.

I don't like February though even though it's a short month. It's damn grey and nothing is blooming.

Going South a bit; my Mum and Dad, who've travelled around a bit, said Penang (Malasia) was lovely. Decades ago though, when natives were still running around in the jungle, it's probably all skyscrapers now. Anyone been there?

I'm tutor for a student from Penang. She says it's bigger than Copenhagen.

SAD is easily cured by going for a good bicycle ride every day.

Last time I was there I was 8 year old (Dad was in the RAF based in Singapore). Went for a trip to Kuala Lumpur. The stink from the open sewer/Klang River made your eyes water and there was a festival with men dressed in bright costumes with needles pushed into one cheek and out the other, or carrying heavy statutes with nails for cushions, or wearing amulets dangling off their nipples.

It was brilliant!

Yes, but she does need either to be a salad dodger or top-heavy.

These skinny tarts are all pointy elbows, knees and hips and do nothing to keep you warm and in bed for an hour after the alarm has gone off.

For proper winter luxury you need to go for comfort, not speed.

Phuket, but doing a Similan Islands & Richelieu Rock liveaboard for 6 days.

I've never been away for over 2 weeks before..

I've not been to Phuket but I'm fairly sure it'll be similar to Samui which is my fave place ever. It's so beautiful - you won't want to come back!!

We went to the night market at Mindel beach in Darwin and she spent two quid. She loved it so much we had to go back , then we had to organise a whole trip just so she could go back again. 30 thousand miles including a week driving through the desert so she can spend two quid in the market.
I will ask her if she fancies Thailand , over a candle lit curry on Saturday night.

Sounds about right - we went to Chatuchak wandered around for hours and I spent about a fiver. Himself wasn't too impressed although he loved Bangkok - I thought he'd hate it. He can't wait to go back

[EternalOptimist]

EO - it's brilliant - She would love it!! the markets are brilliant, the whole experience is amazing! Ye should def give it a blast!!

'fraid I am annoying cheerful all year round, love the autumn and winter - snuggling up in front of the fire, waking up to snow, Christmas etc...

Oh and Norrahe & Zippy, if its any consolation I was a bit sluggish yesterday morning too.
