For the past three weeks I have been waking up to the sound of roosters, many of which sneakily start warming up their vocal chords well before dawn. With this evidence you don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to deduce that I have been in the Northeast of Thailand, or Isan. It has become a regular destination at the New Year and with the exception of the early morning calls from the chickens, it is always a pleasurable experience.

It could be fun, in a strange sort of way

A number of readers well, three have asked why last week s column did not contain the usual predictions for the coming year. My feeling at the time was that with the dark cloud of Covid-19 hovering over us it seemed a bit inappropriate to carry the usual frivolous PostScript predictions. However, I have had a change of heart and considering we are only 10 days into the New Year it is not too late to make silly forecasts.
Hopefully for Thailand the Year of the Ox will be an improvement on that of the Rodent, which won t be too difficult. I still fear we could be in for another annus horribilis, but will endeavour to look on the bright side and leave the gloom and doom to the experts.

In the mid-1970s, while travelling on the slowest train in the world from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi, I recall reading a substantial chunk of John Le Carre s espionage novel, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Though not a fast-paced book, it still had more momentum than the wretched train.
The sad news of Le Carre s death last weekend at the age of 89, had me thinking a bit more about that particular book. I have to admit I did not fully understand all of the complexities of the intricate plot and sometimes had to reread bits to work out who was who.
