Time to take control?

Hmmn, in Thailand much is same,same as the last entry. This weekend has been a large advertised clean-up, and many of my friends, island farangs have returned to do their bit and catch up with each other. Many were out diving when I phoned, cleaning up the stunning marine park, removing tvs,well pretty much anything you can think off. The good news on that front is that the dive sites which are loved and renowned around pp have minimal to no damage, mother nature doing the job herself. It is the areas nearer the main island, Phi Phi Don, by the beaches that require help. Those who visited appeared to be coping well, and a gathering was held on Friday night for the thais and farangs that had lived on the island. Keun and vixen helped provide entertainment with firedancing and spirits were generally positive and ready for work.

Monsieur Boucher worked himself into a terrible state about whether to join this weekend, but decided not to, which is definitely for the best. I am in a situation whereby I may have to take control tho supersoon. Over the last 2 days a number of our friends in Thailand have contacted me voicing their worry and concern over him. It is one thing for me to be worried 6000 miles away but when peeps that see him start phoning me then things really aren't good. He continues to toy with returning to the yuk, but everyone out there says he needs out now. As I said before it appears he is in no state to make this decision himself so I'll see how phone calls and emails go over the next 2 days but it's starting to look likely that I'm going to have to go get him. The land of smiles calls eh? Friends say they feel its probably only me that could get anywhere with him now, and that they'd love to physically carry him to a plane to get him out but he isn't listening to them.We'll see...

I have now caught up with bex, who is doing amazingly well, fully focused on her physical recovery and keeping the info. flowing. I hope to go see her soon,if I don't have to leg it to Thailand. It is a lil chilly here for her tho which is causing her quite a lot of pain. Any of you that have had broken bones or operations know that pain and ache when its cold and or damp. So it looks like she may go to the states to recover for a few months.

She-gooner and he-gooner are good too,love 'em!!! Their flat sounds lovely and very them.

Turtle, he's a star too, even offering me money to come out and see people and to bring boucher back...he finds it frustrating tho sometimes, he wants to be physically shifting debris in the clean-up like the others but obviously isn't physically able. He provides everyone with emotional support tho, a friendly ear, a calm, mature (not old) perspective . What he is doing is as important. He also goes and helps out at carlitos bar, and exercises his shoulder and limbs using balls and poise to strengthen himself.

Much love and total respect to every one of those people effected and or helping out. Hugs x

P.S. Looks like this clean-up was so successful that another one is being planned and advertised, probably be around March 15th...who knows maybe I'll be there?
