Sore Cheeks

Hi guys,

No exciting news to share. I am incredibly relaxed. My days are spent relaxing on the beach, followed by touring the island on my little motorbike...which I also find very relaxing...then a massage on the beach...which is definately relaxing...then a few Long Island Iced Teas...which, again is pretty relaxing. (You guys get the picture...I'm very relaxed)

Yesterday I was sunbathing, and my upper body came under the shadow of a palm tree...rather than move 1 metre to be back in direct sun...I waited for the sun to move around the coconut palm...that is how lazy I have become. I am now almost as lazy as a Thai dog...which is well known to be the laziest animal on the planet.

My friend Bruce who lives in Bangkok and his girlfriend Natalia arrived in Ko Samui yesterday for some vacation...so I will be off to the East Coast where the nightlife is more active to join them for dinner and a drink or two...then probably back to BoPhut to catch up on my relaxing.

One of the locals yesterday told me that I was like a Thai...because I am always smiling. I have nothing to occupy my mind or stress me while I am here, so I spend most of the day reflecting on what a wonderful life I have had and what beautiful friends I have had to share it with me.

That is why my cheeks are sore...from smiling all the time.
