Rules

Hi,

We had a cloudy day here in Chiang Rai. There were times when it looked like it might even rain, then the sun would appear. Oh well. It was a fairly mellow weekend around here. Lots of music across the river, with a few fireworks for good measure.

The 'Old School Friday' song was "Great Balls of Fire" by Jerry Lee Lewis. Now it's time for 'Easy Monday' and I'm guessing you know this one. "I don't like you, but I love you. Seems that I'm always thinking of you. Oh, oh, oh, you treat me badly, I love you madly __ __ __ __ __ __ __." Hint: Yes, it's a title with seven words, it would be a miracle if you didn't know this one. Someone has a grip on someone. Hmm.

Saturday we went to the downtown market. There is nothing quite like being in the market on a Saturday morning. The place is a combination of chaos and flow, a feast of sights, sounds and smells. There we were, in the thick of it and feeling comfortable. After finally finding parking we made our way past the sidewalk vendors and their fresh produce. It's a good thing we've memorized some landmarks inside the maze so we don't get lost like we used to. We got the fabric we went for and actually passed on buying 'treats'. The diversity of costumes and faces was enough for one visit.

Sunday we went to Big C for a bit of light shopping - mostly essentials. I think it was more crowded than usual due to the build up to the holidays coming. It turns out that the new year is on February 3rd, and the celebration will last for 15 days. I have no idea what that actually means when it comes to the festival grounds, but they started partying on Sunday morning around 9am and it lasted until the evening. Tonight (Monday) it's quiet.

Today we stayed home all day. Lisa finished up the last part of the process on the final piece. It will be a gift for the governor for being the presenter. The catalogues are to be delivered tomorrow, along with posters designed by our friend Rachel. We have a photo shoot for the last group of cast acrylic prints, then we take them to the framer. Then we have to get inserts with the Thai translations printed for the catalogue. The art is done but the work continues. The excitement is definitely building. Now, what will I wear? (Ha)

Have a Great Week.

Peace,
Danny
