Hi,
Last night it rained and today it was cloudy all day with light rain in the evening. It's funny how the rain warms things up (relatively speaking). Morning in the market is always fun and today was no exception. So much to see, smell and hear.
This week's 'Easy Monday' song was "Midnight Train to Georgia" by Gladys Knight and The Pips. 'Zany Day' is next:
"I took my troubles down to Madame Rue. You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth. She's got a pad down on 34th and Vine, sellin' little bottles of __ __ __ __." Hint: The title of this song may not meet FDA standards. It's sung by something that sometime has four leaves.
Our overnight rain left the yard wet, but not wet enough to keep the dogs from enjoying the crisp air and all the new smells. After their workout we ran errands. There is a new animal clinic not far from us and they have some of the things we need. Today we were looking for ear drops for Daku. They had the product and while we were waiting we looked at the other things on the shelves. Today's photo is something I did not expect to see. I have no explanation at this time (555).
In the downtown Talat there are three fabric shops right next to each other. We started at one end and went through them all, looking for material for clothes and a cover for the new dog beds. The only thing we didn't find was something for the dashboard of the van. There is another shop inside the market and the owner has been very helpful to us in the past. Today his father was hanging out in the shop and we got into a conversation. They are originally from India and the father asked me if I spoke Indian. He told me he thought by my skin tone that I might be from India. Hmm, no, I'm from France. Then we talked about how old we were and how we loved Thailand. He's 78 and has been here a long time. It was kinda cool. The other nice thing about visiting this shop is the treat stand right in front of the entrance. They now make little cupcakes and pancakes that are milk free.
On our way to Khun Gahn's this afternoon it started to sprinkle. Gahn is going to make the covers for the dog beds and whip up some garments before we leave for the US. It's a nice ride to her place, outside of town. I got to watch the odometer roll over to 600 kilometers, which means that the break-in period may be over. Oh yeah, now it's time to floor it and see what this baby can really do. (555) The rain picked up just as the dogs were ready to go out and play. They have a keen sense of time when it comes to playing and eating. Having to wait is not something they enjoy, but they know that eventually we'll cave and take them out.
It's time for Wacky Wednesday.
Peace,
Danny
