Hi,
Today was a cloudy Wednesday. All day it kept looking like it might rain, then the sun would shine, then more clouds. Under all of that I had a massage, we had a long visit from the pool guys, and a Big C run. Pretty mellow day.
The 'Easy Monday' song was "A Hard Day's Night" by The Beatles. Cool movie too. On to our 'Zany Day' song. I certainly hope you remember this one: "I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor on my block. And I sit at home looking out the window, imagining the world has stopped. Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up like a union jack and says I've won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack. I said, 'Hey! You! __ __ __ __ (repeat 2 times) Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd..." Hint: It came from across the pond, and it refers to something in the sky. Hmm.
This morning we did the usual dog exercising. We have discovered that Daku responds differently when I throw the ball than when Lisa does it. He runs harder and seems to want to from the moment he knows it's his turn. As soon as BamBam brings the ball back, Daku starts pulling. It has made it easier to ensure that he's getting his morning workout. Tomorrow Daku has a play-date with Jago.
We have been doing a lot of walking this week. Some of it has been over irregular terrain and, not being a hiker, I have felt the effort afterwards. Today I decided to let Khun Joy just give me a massage and not point out anything specific. It turns out I didn't have to. She found everything that was tight and gave it a little 'attention'. Came home feeling like mush but not too sore.
The pool guys were at the house when I returned, and they seemed to be involved in a big project behind the waterfall. Later, Boot told us that they were cleaning out the surge tank. It's a big concrete tank under ground and it sends water to the filter. There has been an accumulation of leaves and flowers and they shouldn't be there. The cold water in the pool looks good and it's time to be brave and squeeze into the wetsuits for a swim.
The large shopping stores are best visited early in the day, for easy parking and plenty of stock. Our trip to Big C today was late morning and it was decidedly more crowded than we're used to. We got some of what we went for and managed to get home close to lunch time. During our travels we determined that today had been designated 'Stupid Driving Day'. From one side of town to the other, and back, we encountered tons of stupid driving. Bad decisions, lack of decision, and of course the classic: 'Leap before you Look'. We stayed in for the rest of the day.
This afternoon we had a really cool Skype call with our friends Louise and Jesper, in Denmark. Some of you may remember that they stayed with us last year. They just had a baby boy who decided to arrive early. His name is Rasmus and he and his parents are all living at the hospital until he can go home. It was great to talk with them and hear about the baby. All of their posts on Facebook are in Danish so we miss the conversations.
It's time for another Random Bangkok Photo. This one was taken on the ticket platform of the SkyTrain. When you need to handle your legal affairs you can do it on the run. (or is it rail?)

Those clouds that hung around all day decided to let go this evening. We've had another nice dose of water that should last until the weekend.
It's time for Wacky Wednesday.
Peace,
Danny
