If You are one of those folks who feels the need to be wanted, and inserts him(her)self in discussions that otherwise are of little concern to them, don’t bother. Move along. Troll elsewhere. Avail yourself of a 75cent glass of ale

For those of you parent types who have left over baby gear gathering dust in a corner, after your plans for colonising Cambodia have slowed down, and are now considering selling some, we may be interested.

Basically, SWMBO is about to visit upon the KoW Freightdog jr. We’ve been collecting together some items over the last few months, but the due date is fast approaching, she’s been shopping for some of the bigger items, and I’m away working for another few weeks.

Now. Me personally, I’ve proposed simply cutting holes in heavy duty bin bags, and using some light rope to just sling junior over my shoulder. This clearly has not been well expressed. Apparently, the Khmer for stony silence and withering looks is actually easily translated into many languages.
My suggestions for slinging a hammock have not yet been mentioned until she attains a more reasonable demeanour.

Therefore, we are hunting for a few things. Like a cot/cradle thingy- she had her mind set on an electric motorised* all swinging-all dancing thing, but the cheeky shop that we had one earmarked went and put the price up.
If you happen to have some items that you’ve been considering chucking on flea bay or whatever alternative exists locally in Phnom Penh, and think we may find useful, let us know.

Send a PM, and I’ll get back to you once I’ve caught up on my meds



*I could always adapt something Tim Tooltime stylee later.

Panic over, except for the sudden and inexplicable hole in my bank account.
Back to thinking about baby names

Threaddrift alert.
Having heard about pregnant woman cravings*, I had mentally braved myself for some weirdness. This lasted all of 10microseconds when it dawned on me that given her penchant for weird stuff to eat, I’d hardly know if there was a craving at all.



*first time dad.

4; and you’re contemplating another?

We have 2, with one more to arrive in the next few weeks. I’m practising on the first two in the hope I might get it right, but given that I’ve spent 52 years avoiding growing up properly, I think there may be a flaw in plan*...



*who am I kidding? What plan?
