Sitting on the 2.00pm train back from London King’s Cross & there’s someone who has been on a phone call the entire journey - so far. Without headphones or earbuds, so we are all forced to listen to both sides of the convo 🙄

I’ve noticed this ‘no earbuds’ thing before. It is so rude and tedious beyond belief 😒

I spent several weeks living in an hotel in Chiang Mai in Thailand. For about a week the people in the room adjoining mine were Americans who seemed to need to conduct business with the US day and night. Obviously, since the US is a loooooong way from Thailand they had to shout during EVERY SINGLE conversation to make sure their correspondent could hear them!

I reached the stage of asking for a change of room and was given one!

The new room was on the 6th or 7th floor which meant that I got a really good shake up when there was an earthquake that was felt in Chiang Mai. The quake was in Burma but was felt at varying strengths as far afield as India and much of SE Asia. Chiang Mai was quite close to the epicentre and I found it very disorientating!
