Friendship


Hi,

Today we went into town for half of the day.  We hung out at Bliss, searched for a light, and ended up at Central Plaza.

I suppose I should have called this the 'Zany Day' Easy Wednesday song since so many got it.  Some of you are still a little confused so this should clear that up:  "As we live a life of ease, every one of us has all we need.  Sky of blue and sea of green, in our __ __.  We all live in a __ __, __ __, __ __,  (repeat until you're sick of it)  Hint:  Four lads from across the pond who made two movies and a cartoon.  

This morning we spent some time at Bliss Studios looking at our photos from 'the shoot'.  There was a little down time while Chalit did a portrait of someone from Chiang Rai United.  We watched his brother Nu do his thing in a program called Lightroom.  It was very cool the way he arranged the proofs into a display.  We also needed Chalit to call the body shop and inquire about the parts for our car.  Nothing has happened so far, which means we will need the rental car for weeks more.  At one point Nu looked at me, laughed and said, 'This is Thailand'.  

Our next project was a search for bedside table lamps.  There is a store that we have passed many times that seemed like a good place to start.  Lighting stores can sometimes be wonderlands.  This place had tons of ceiling lamps, floor lamps and an assortment of table lamps.  They had the usual stuff, but there were some very artistic standouts.  Too bad we weren't there as decorators with an unlimited budget.  I could have gone crazy.  Now we have some reference points for further shopping.  

A little further down the road and we were at our next destination:  Central Plaza.  We decided to lunch there and then pick up a few things.  As we were finishing our lunch the assistant manager came to the table and showed Lisa his art work on a Samsung Note.  At first we thought they were photos of his drawings but he actually did them on the device.  They were figure drawings and portraits and it looked like ink and watercolor.  You never know what talents people have.  We have known him for years and just discovered he is an artist.  

This evening we went outside to see the Space Station, but we must have been late or the direction changed.  The email from NASA told us an approximate time and direction.  Oh well, it will be back again.  

Today's photo is a good example of getting the most from 2 wheels.  This motorbike is covered with snacks and makes regular rounds to workers who can't take the time to go for treats when they're on a break.  You name it, she's probably got it, somewhere.

Have a Thrilling Thursday.

                     Peace,
                                Danny
