1. A cousin's overseas call. When my phone rang on Wednesday night, its little screen showed a private number calling. "It's Ireland again," I guessed. But it was from someone better - a dear cousin in France! We talked for almost two hours. Nothing beats chatting with a close relative you don't usually have communication with for years. The best part is knowing she's back to normal work with her chemotherapy sessions behind her. 2. A friend's email. Her advice meant a lot to me. I appreciate escaping from a crappy deal and knowing where I stand, what to do next and how to explore other options. 3. A consultant's reply. I am in contact with an education and training consultant in the UK. The replies to my queries are positively promising. I am really smiling. Even in my sleep! 4. Useful website information. When you need to do important, personal research right on, the internet is pure wonder! 5. Durian chips. I love the milky, creamy feel on the palate. They're my tummy fillers as I researched into midnites.
It has been an ordinary week for me. Or so I thought until things that transpired, especially nos. 1 - 4 turned out to be major!
Friends and I went island-hopping last year. My phone was changing indications of where we were several times. Names are difficult to read, much less remember. The main island where we hopped from is called Koh Chang or Elephant island. We went to five islets each taking about 15 minutes to reach. In a stop one of my friends encountered a sea urchin. They say a pee would cure the sting. I don't know if it's true. Another thing I heard about urchins is they could sense and would crawl towards human presence. Probably for more prickly attention? Although sometimes paradise has a price, the sky was blue, the sun was shining, the weather perfect and the breeze was just what our city-dwelling lungs needed. All is well. *** My World Tuesday is brought to you by Klaus and the My World Team Sandy , Wren , Fishing Guy , Sylvia

Hi Susanne, my purse oh...lol! it's where I put the chips in after buying them from the food court, and then I took them out for a quick shot.

You may have my share of the durian chips :)
So happy for you that you got in touch with friends and family.
I haven't tried the Durian chips - if they don't smell I may be up to it.
Have a great week!
