Change

Hi,

The morning weather cocktail had a new ingredient today: wind.  So, we had cold, cloudy, and windy.  Fog lost it’s place due to the wind.  Even with the appearance of the sun through the clouds, it was still cold all day.

The ‘Easy Monday’ song was “I’m Only Sleeping” by The Beatles.  This time of year we get to play with holiday songs with a ‘Zany Day’ twist.  Here’s an annual favorite:  “__ __, slip a sable under the tree, for me.  Been an awful good girl, __ __, so hurry down the chimney tonight.  Hint:  Sung in a very sultry manner by a very sultry singer.  

Today we went into town to get bread.  Usually it’s only one stop, but today we also went back to Aye’s to pick up my rye bread.  I guess with a little raw honey, it will be my replacement for cookies.  While we were out, Blue remembered a restaurant that we didn’t have on our list of places to eat.  On our return trip to town we had lunch at the Golden Triangle and lunch was great for all of us.  

The photo for today was taken at Doi Chaang Coffee.  I have seen these devices before, but the cold air has caused many riders to put them on their motorbikes.  I don’t know what they call them, but they would certainly keep the hands out of the cold wind and also keep them dry in the rain.

Things have quieted down around here.  The concerts across the river ended last night and the silence is wonderful.  When Cat told us how many nights it would last I didn’t see how that could be.  It’s interesting that events like fairs and concerts keep going during the week.  We don’t know if there was much of a crowd, but it just seems odd to have a carnival on a school night.  Hmm.

Cat was supposed to have a badminton test at school today but the wind cancelled the play.  The birdies kept flying away.  The school doesn’t have a gymnasium, so any activity has to be done outside.  

Daku gave one of the big suitcases a good sniffing when it arrived in the bedroom this evening.  He’s still pretty calm, but once it’s open and in the packing position I’m sure his anxiety level will rise.  We’ve done this for many years so he knows what’s going to happen.  It’s a pattern he doesn’t like.  

Have a Thrilling Thursday.

                       Peace,

                                 Danny
