 Bob's Chat

Hello friends. As I mentioned previously my wife and I have been on a motoring trip around Southern Thailand, we're both members of the Hash House Harriers and the main reason behind the trip was to attend the Mekong Indochina Hash weekend at Krabi. We've now returned home and we clocked up a total of 2500 kms driving through some very spectacular southern scenery.

My wife and I at the Hash House Harriers dinner last Saturday night at Krabi, Thailand.

As you can imagine I've been very busy so unfortunately I just don't have time for now to respond to individual comments and questions. Firstly I'd like to thank everyone for your nice comments when I posted the beach photos from Krabi, decades ago I worked as a photojournalist in Thailand and frequently did travel reports on Krabi and other southern holiday destinations, so it was fun for me to be back on the beaches with my camera looking for the best light and best angles. I'd also like to thank everyone for your nice comments regarding the 3rd year anniversary of this blog opening. All your lovely comments made me very happy to read.

I've been asked from time to time about re-ups of previous volumes (mainly Soul Party) where the links are dead. At the moment I just don't have time this side of New Year, but it is something I could sort out in 2026. If there are specific volumes you require let me know and I'll see about digging them out and reposting, please try to keep it to a manageable number, say half a dozen at a time. However I will say this: preference will most definitely be given to the loyal followers of this blog who regularly make comments and say thank you. 

Anyway my friends I hope you enjoy today's two compilations, next post in a few days will be "Soul Party Vol 100". So dig in, dig the great music, and don't forget to take a few seconds to say "thanks Bob" after you take one of my compilations.
