Green

Hi,

The days of checking the weather forecasts are over.  All we have to do is look outside and we know what’s going to happen.  Rain sometime during the day, or night.  Yes folks, it’s the rainy season.

No matter what day it was, the ‘Old School Friday’ song was “The Monkey Time” by Major Lance.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ih5ohy6TYE   Now, it really is time for ‘Easy Monday’ and a tune we’ve discussed before.  “Never know how much I love you, never know how much I care.  When you put your arms around me, I get a __ that's so hard to bear, you give me __.  When you kiss me, __ when you hold me tight.  __, in the morning, __ all through the night.”  Clue:  A medical condition brought on by love?

Every 24 hour cycle brings rain; the pool is virtually closed.  The daytime temps have cooled to the point that the air is not allowing for warm rain.  The pool is cold.  If we could get a few days off from the rain we might be able to get in a few laps (555).

For some odd reason, Mr. Lag has been a little less active since our return.  Not that he’s gone, but the afternoon ‘crash’ and the wide-awake-at-4am stuff is not happening.  One thing that might be a factor was the business class sleeping arrangement on the 13 hour segment of our trip.  To be able to stretch out and really relax may have allowed our bodies to rest properly.  If only we could travel like that all the time.  

This weekend we got back to a few of our favorite places.  Sunday we did lunch at The Wanderer and dinner at Sawadee.  I think that made the return complete.  We’re still marveling at how green everything is here.  Today Lisa spotted 6 tiny little oranges on our young tree.  

The container structure that I showed you recently has now been identified.  We passed it with Cat in the van and she read the signs.  It’s a short-stay ‘hotel’.  In the States it would be a motel.  They have lots of them around town and the standard cost is 350 Baht per night.  That’s about $10.  This new place is 390 Baht.  It’s right in the middle of the little restaurant/club row.  Hmm, very interesting. 

Yesterday, as we were leaving The Wanderer, I posed the question about how to refer to Gong and Natcha.  Blue came up with the best, funniest answer:  our “nannies."  That about sums it up.  Every time I think of that it makes me laugh. 

Today’s photo was taken inside the air/con room at The Wanderer.  You can see 4 of the 5 pieces of Lisa’s artwork that are on display.  I only wish we could hang out in there, but the cats like to hang in there so my allergies prevent enjoying the air and art.

Tomorrow we will make our first trip to Big C in three weeks.  The adventure continues (555).

Have a Great Week.

                 Peace,

                           Danny
