Saturday night we had a bbq in Coco's and went to see a live band in Same Same bar. Same Same band as we saw on Full Moon night. Twas good and not too mad a night.
Have been saying goodbye to the kids. They are all revved for up for the big sports day this week so only stop briefly to say goodbye take some sweets and take off running. The Headmaster hadn't told anyone that today was my last day so all the teachers looked at me in surprise when I said 'Lagone' ('bye for good'). Had one last lesson with nursery and played tug of war and inside/outside game (jumping rope). As I pried the little ones from my legs to leave my eyes were moist...I must have gotten something in my eye.
Thesaban, the second school was a non-event. Class one had a half day for sports practice. Pity, as I didn't get to say goodbye. Although the triplets in the class are part of the Charm beach family, where I am staying, so I'll give the leftover sweets to them.
Tonight we are all out for dinner in Liberty resort. BBQ and beach fire. Last farewell to the PODies and the people who looked after us out here.
The last few days have been taken up with packing and throwing things I don't need out . Have bought tickets for Krabi and organised accomodation there, but nothing further than that. Hope to meet Chris, the only other POD guy, over there. Then on to the 10 day silent retreat Suan Mokkh...shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Saying goodbye? Tears in your eyes? It must have been more than your legs they were clinging to. Tis mad to think your teaching is over, time flies when you are having fun.
Enjoy the silent retreat, I know we will.
I really should re-read every blog with "how will Pete mis-interpret this" in mind. Time is certainly moving fast.
Starting retreat tomorrow. Enjoy it while you can Pete!
Jayziz, am having awful trouble posting on here.
So they finally had enough of you eh? Have you finished all the Martell on the island?
Not much news this side, was back in Amsterdam with herself last week, all the ladyboys were asking for you. I told them you were gone seeking your inner Mick, which you may have left on the floor of Front Page, or was that Marko?
Anyhoo, keep up the good work and stay well fatty.
Fatty...did you have to put down your jam dougnut in order to type that?
Fatty indeed...I'm putting you on my list of enemies...again!
