Oops, a bit late with the blog, will be the end of another week if I don’t do it now. The rain finally came and everyone on KP posted about it on their respective pages. Those of us that have come here from Europe/Russia etc must think we are mental to get so excited about something that most of us came here to escape from!! I had another Mexican at Rancho (or is it Rango) in Srithanu which Rory Gallagher treated me too on account he has been staying at mine, and is far from the tidiest person in the world. And that doesn’t REALLY work with my O.C.D.!! Nor does he like to turn lights off and one time he even forgot to lock the doors when he left the villa! Luckily this time, I wasn’t robbed!
Went to Half Moon on the Monday with Rory, Adam and some guests from Phangan Beach Resort which included this gorgeous Canadian girl Laura. I took myself home about 2am as I had broken my no alcohol rule and bought a bucket!! Plus I had 2 shots at the resort, so after 2 weeks of nothing, it went to my head all too quickly. It was days later when I was told I had been dancing on tables and that Adam had walked me to the jeep to make sure I was OK!! Adam also told me Laura and her friend were parading around naked with him in their bungalow when they got back to the resort!! BOLLOX!!!!!!!!!! I do remember Boyonic playing some great tunes though!!
Rory finally moved out on Thursday to start his new teaching job in Surat but was coming back for the weekend. I had a fab night on Thursday as had dinner at Om Ganesh with Darragh Casey and his far better looking partner Kate Balk a beautiful firespinner!

That girl would still look drop dead gorgeous even if she had been dragged through a hedge backwards (English saying-not sure if other countries have their own version), fallen in a pile of mud and dressed like a tramp! Then we went on to Secret Garden which was really busy and Inlightened and Jonny Acrobat were playing some interesting different stuff. Some of it wasn’t my bag but it made a refreshing change.
Secret Garden party in Haadrin
Many of the island faces were there- including the Haadrin girls-you know who I mean and of course I can’t remember all their names but it included Linda Jasmine, Rony Katz, Cecile and Gayle. During the evening I was told that some total prick had said I took people away from a place I had been at the week before. It certainly wasn’t someone who worked there but just some random who obviously thought that I must be so important that he (or she) decided to spread shit gossip. What actually happened was I left with exactly the same amount of people I took there. But it really pissed me off cos that sort of thing can lose you friends.
I had swapped my Thursday at Solo Bar, Samui to Friday, and the boat ride over on the Haadrin Queen was the calmest I had ever taken. There was no wind and the whole ocean looked like a lake. Fabrice PhB and the lovely Morgan were also on the boat and he was playing a new venue in Lamai the next night. I guess he went a day early so he wouldn’t be late! The exotic Nikita Rose was there to meet them of the boat, so I got a nice cuddle too. I had read about this new fashion shop Psylo in Samui Lifestyle magazine. They make urban/tribal tops and jeans etc and it said they were on Chaweng Beach Road but do you think I could find it? Or anyone had heard of it? So I bought some cool fake G Star cut downs instead. Popped down to Ark Bar which was double busy as they now have a party night on a Friday as well as a Wednesday then went back to Solo to work. It was an OK night.
I got a really good deal at Samui Pier resort, and was up at 9.30 Saturday morning to enjoy one of Yury’s special breakfasts before making the very busy 10.30 Haadrin Queen boat back to Phangan. I sat down the side bit and the person next to me actually moved because I was smoking, and came back when I had finished. He was with his young son so I guess he was concerned about him, which is understandable. It turns out he owns Phangan Art and was actually a very nice guy, and I did apologise for smoking! Stopped by Blue Top Café on the way home for a coffee with Nid and then got whistled down by Damon who is just opening a new hostel place in Baankai. You would never have thought Damon would be so green fingered but he just had a load of plants laid and was very proud of them!!
Cindy (my dog) has now pretty much decided she doesn’t want to live with me anymore and has lost her heart to Jimmy who is looked after by Tracy Freeman who is now the hostess with the mostest at Bangers & Mash and Outlaw Bar, depending on what is happening on the nights. Sadly you cannot bar fine her, and she won’t shag you for a 1000baht! Actually, she won’t shag you at all! Cindy keeps running away down the hill and along the main road to Haad Salad village where Tracy and Jimmy live. What can I do? I don’t want to tie her up and I don’t want her run over. We have talked about this, but I am not sure she understands!
You could feel the island kicking back into life as it was just 3 days away from Full Moon. Because I had swapped my nights at Solo bar, that meant swapping my nights at the Electronic Lounge.

They had a great night on the Friday I heard but Saturday was off the hook partly due to the return of Holly Clairee Rooney (no relation to the bloke who kicks a ball around for a living). I had met back in February and she has returned bringing new friends Mary and Heather with her. They got the party started and danced their cute little arses off all night.
So another week in Paradise flew by.Fuck, at this rate, forget Christmas and NYE, it will be Songkran again before you know it!
