A Comic Strip
A nice idea and a change from flikr photos ~ an ongoing comic strip.
It's not so funny for these folk, foreigners and Papuans alike, jailed in Bali and elsewhere. Spare a particular thought and maybe support Rogerio Paez.
Another view of Bali is given in this travelblogue by some intrepid folk exploring Indonesia by kayak and bike. In fact, this is but one section of a journey around the world using only human power. Over two thirds of the journey - 25,000 miles - has so far been completed by Englishman Jason Lewis.
Read all about it here. Of special interest to local teachers and classes is that there are projects to get involved in. Given the insularity of the local population ~ it's been suggested to me that England is near Alaska and few can point to Thailand on a world map, as Enda in Bangkok probably knows ~ this is a wonderful opportunity to broaden horizons.
All good things must come to an end.
Yep, that's the last bottle of real ale brought out from Blighty by Son no.1 gone as I watched the match last night.
And so Charlton's perfect start to the season was shattered at The Valley on Saturday as Chelsea emerged with the spoils from the SE7 summit meeting.
There is certainly no disgrace in losing to a side as talented as Jose Mourinho's and the way they efficiently went about their business was mightily impressive.
Ho hum.
But some things hopefully get better. Following the dog in the manger attitude of EasySpace, who refused to allow us to re-register our domain name for less than £100, yet refused to answer our emails, we were pleased to find DreamHost.
For $99.98 we now have a slightly different domain name, hosting of main site plus sub-domains, up to 600 email addresses and direct correspondence with the people who manage the company. And all this for the next two years.
They also offer Wordpress as part of the package so, if I can get to grips with it, Jakartass may be moving.
But don't hold your breath.
