A monk in the river



Whilst we were at U Inchantree a monk  came in a boat to collect offerings in the morning.



It was a quite moving experience.


Thank you.

Ramkhamhaeng 76 (Walk 27) - on a walk


As I get my iced coffee every morning from (Ramkhamhaeng 76)  I have noticed that there

Vendetta Girl by Kenneth Rosenberg


Natalia Nicolaeva is off to study in St. Petersburg, Russia, but when another student is murdered, her life goes spiraling out of control once more. She could choose to just stay out of it, but then, that's not really Natalia's nature. Instead, she opts for the opposite tactic; doing whatever she can to make the killers pay for their crimes.

Vendetta Girl follows Natalia through a labyrinth of Russian computer hackers, corrupt government officials and professional hitmen as she struggles to put together the pieces of a deadly conspiracy. Nobody is quite who they seem in this fast-paced thriller and the only person Natalia can fully trust is herself.


I gave the book 4 out of 5 and read this in 
September 2022.
