Hi,
Today was another hot one, with a storm after dinner. One can never tell what the weather will do. There was some internet drama this afternoon in Thailand, and the curfew has been amended. Read on.
'Easy Monday' was The Beatles singing "We Can Work It Out". For 'Zany Day', here's a little challenge for you:
"12:00 o'clock at night, you walk out the door. You told me baby, you were going to the drug store. Well, in my mind, I knew you were lying; the drug store closed at a quarter to nine. I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence, I heard you telling Jimmy I ain't got no sense. The way you've been acting is such a drag; you done put me in a __ __."
Clue: The artist was addicted to love, and this song proves it. He's being fooled and he knows it. Hmm.
We spent part of the morning looking for an armoire for the music room, which has become the second guest room. Here in Thailand they don't normally build closets into a room. A stand-alone closet is used, so any room can become a bedroom. We found what we were looking for at one of our familiar shops and they delivered it this afternoon. A few more touches and the room will be ready for visitors.
The big news this morning was the change in the curfew. The hours are now from 12 midnight to 4am. This will allow for a lot of life to go on as usual. I'm sure there was a big sigh of relief in the resort cities as well as all of the Night Bazaars and markets that depend on late shoppers. Even 7-11 was having a tough time with the early curfew.
This afternoon at 3pm, Facebook became unavailable in Thailand. This sent a shockwave through the land. What? How could they? By 3:30pm it was back and folks were told it was a glitch. Hmm, that will do, as long as they have their Facebook. Before we knew it was back online we pondered just what this would mean for millions of people. Some might have to pick up the telephone and talk to someone, or visit, or just resort to texting. All that still happens anyway, but FB is giant here. Teachers communicate with their students during off hours, as to assignments, schedule changes, and even which uniform to wear. I guess the nation is safe and there won't be the 'Facebook Revolt of 2014'.
Today's photo is from Sunday afternoon at Art Bridge.
It feels like a Wacky Wednesday.
Peace,
