Hi,
Today was mildly busy. A drive to Makro, two Skype calls to different parts of the world, a massage, and a 'home-cooked' dinner.
The 'Easy Monday' song was "Stormy Monday", first recorded by T-Bone Walker in 1947. There have been numerous recordings of this blues. Big thanks to Barry for the background info. Now it's time for a 'Zany Day' song. Hmm, we're going deep on this one: "In the town where I was born, lived a man who sailed the sea. And he told us of his life in the land of submarines. So we sailed on to the sun till we found the sea of green. And we lived beneath the waves in our __ __." Hint: You might find lots of meanings for the lyrics, but the author said it's a children's song. At any rate, there is water and some kind of special vessel.
This morning we went to Makro, which is nothing special, but the sights along the way were interesting. There is a road we take that used to be nothing but rice fields on one side. Then someone built a large house that stood all by itself. Now there are restaurants filling in the landscape. One of the structures looks like an art piece and I'll try to get a photo when it's closer to completion.
We had a nice Skype talk with Bruce and Danielle, sorting out last minute things about their Thailand trip. It took me back to our first adventure in Thailand in 2001. The second call happened while I was at my massage. As Khun Joy was unknotting my body after my weekend travel, Lisa was visiting with Louise, Jesper and Rasmus who live in Denmark. Since their stay with us last year we have kept in touch. Lisa managed to capture some screen images of the little family. Rasmus is 4 months old and getting bigger, as babies do.

Boot was off today, which meant we had to feed ourselves. She did leave ingredients for lunch, but dinner was up to us. Chef Lisa prepared a fish dinner that was quite tasty. What makes it even more impressive is that she cooked two kinds of fish. Salmon is on my list of things that don't like me, so I get to eat a local fish. The dogs were sure that the smell of fish was for them and they hovered like wild beasts. The funny thing is, Wednesday is 'tuna day' so they did get fish. I'm sure they found that better tasting than the big leaves on the front yard.
Due to the warmer temp last night, the pool is up to 75 F, which means we may subject ourselves to the cold water any day now. It looks so inviting in the heat of the day.
Time for Wacky Wednesday.
Peace,
Danny
