a brown chihuahua in a green harness is absolutely flying down a carpeted hallway. his eyes are wide, ears back in sport mode, and legs an incomprehensible blur.

the chi is passing right in front of you, all four paws tucked in for maximum power.

a glance at the chihuahua running from behind. his back legs are wide and his tail curled over on itself almost. there’s no other word for it: he’s skedaddling.

This is Tapioca. He asked if you wanted to see some real speed. Was already on his second lap before you could answer. 13/10 (IG: tapiocathechi)

Rings and other jewellery made from brass bullet casings from the war.

Local artisans, weavers, local honey products...some beautiful local businesses to support in Siem Reap.

Sushi, crickets, snails, frogs, nut-stuff frogs, pork barbecue. The food in Cambodia is phenomenal.

In Cambodia visiting my bro. Incredible home-cooked lunch and now checked into my hotel room. Lovely hotel. Time for a shower and a nap!

Also people forget or just don't know how much we already have to support our own needs 24/7. It's exhausting. Like every day feels like you're pushing shit uphill just to do all the things. So by the end of the year you're at literal collapse stage. This is my end of year.

If health, education, essential services and utilities aren’t in public hands then they can be bought, dismantled and sold off for parts

😻👍🏻 the one thing I like about hot weather/climate is not having to wear a lot of clothes. The layers of clothing in winter I find exhausting.

Sounds familiar 😻

Minus 🙄

🤣😂 We had a night of minis 9 here not long ago. Snowing down in the mountains so it's a bit cold 🥶. I love it though.

I woke with a tremendous feeling of longing and sadness.

I didn't know why, but I was missing my friend..more than friend. Moose.

It wasn't until later in the morning that the Mrs. let me know it was the anniversary of his passing. It was a date I never put in my calendar.

Man, I miss you.

“that’s still your family” is how a lot of trauma gets ignored and passed down like furniture.

Ha! 😺😻 How can you have no capacity for everyday chores & can't pick one thing from a restaurant menu without studying the menu for 3 days beforehand but you can emigrate to other continents 5 times‽ Yeah...watch me.

Lovely bonsai in foreground, my favourite table at a Vietnamese cafe in northern Canberra Australia @sidpavey.bsky.social @redfiddler.bsky.social oddly, but maybe sort of quirky ok, it is adjacent to 2 plastic pot plants.

That's lovely!

Thanks Dr H. Yeah it's been a rough couple of weeks. I also realised, since the start of last year I've had a death of a significant person in my life about every 3 months. Really tired 😞
