He's having a fag, but he is here, honest. This week... Marking work and dealing with student complaints from 10,000 kilometres away. Sabai sabai... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oohlalad/message

Last week I decided to pack my rucksack and head back to the UK: a decision I'm annoyed at myself with for not making sooner! Anyway, today's a bad day but, it's Friday so, here's my update. In the meantime, I've a case of red to sink into. Adios. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oohlalad/message

This is the audio from our first visually-recorded interview, set to take place and be posted on YouTube each month. The broader purpose of the video series is to capture the souls of 100 beautiful people over the course of time. (plus the personal weekly updates to Spotify too) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oohlalad/message

Preparations are well underway for our first video interview - with the sexy Dan lad lined up and confirmed for next week! As well as working on the feature length podcast here, we'll also post the full interview on YouTube (please subscribe via the link I post on social media - even though there's no content yet!? Haha) Peace and love all xx --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oohlalad/message

The I more I study foreign languages, the easier it becomes to teach English as one. Tonight, we celebrate a student hitting a personal milestone. I switch my wine for coffee. We take a trip to immigration. Join me, as the rain pours outside, and make yourself comfortable on my sofa #LoveLife --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oohlalad/message

The England game. The racist slurs. The aftermath... (And from this side of the world, technical challenges, broken wine glasses and military checkpoints) Join me for a glass of red on this fine Friday evening. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oohlalad/message

Whilst completing my first ever Zoom class (to nearly 90 students) I realised nobody had started the written elements of my work. But sabai sabai, it's Thailand!?! This realisation, and the comparison to my friends' situations here, leads me to highlight the reason why I will never leave. Finally: This Podcast needs you (and your sexy voices!). Head to Anchor.FM and leave me a voice note to include in future. They can be about anything. They can be questions or statements, reflections or rants. Teacher, travel, covid-focused or otherwise. I don't know who, but analytics inform me I now have five regular listeners. So clear your throat, come on in and speak with me. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oohlalad/message

Back home in Thailand. Got wine in my hand, friends by my side and a rooftop up above. Happy days. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oohlalad/message
