Forgiveness

Hi,

Repeat, repeat, repeat is the forecast for yesterday, today and tomorrow.  We did have a coolish breeze this morning, but it was soon replaced by a warm blast.  Clouds came and teased rain, but scooted off with the wind.

The ‘Easy Monday’ song has many movements. Let’s skip forward to something you may recognize:  “I see a little silhouetto of a man, scaramouche, scaramouche will you do the Fandango?  Thunderbolt and lightning very, very frightening to me.  (Galileo) Galileo.  (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro Magnifico-o-o-o-o….Nothing really matters to me.”  Clue:  Much has been written about this group and their lead singer.  There was an Oscar involved.

Today was one of those laid-back days when staying at home seemed like a really good idea, so we did.  That is not to say that there was no activity at The Big Brown House.  Khun Na came and cleaned the pool, much to JaiDee’s delight.  Right after lunch we had a visit from CAT Telecom to assess the best place to put a WiFi extender.  We’re trying to get the internet into the little apartment where Natcha, Gong and Nitchanan live.  After deciding that the house was too big to just relocate the main router, they decided on the extender.  It was my first thought, but it seems that my ideas are not often translated well (555).  A little later we had a visit from Khun Nung to install more plugs in the kitchen for the new device.  Yeah, a simple laid back day.  

Yesterday I mentioned the ducks that adopted Sutheera and Nukoon.  Here is a photo of the little family.

Thailand had reported that the international borders would open up on July 1, but now it’s been extended until the third or fourth quarter.  The fear is a Second Wave of the virus.  There have recently been Thai arrivals who tested positive.  There is a plan to allow arrivals from countries that are virus free.  It’s an ambitious plan that will take longer to implement.  I am really happy to hear that they are being extra careful.  The pressure from the tourism industry is enormous, but the government is thinking about the big picture.  

Drinking lots of water is getting easier.  The food thing is another story.  When salt is taken away, one realizes how much it enhances the flavor.  So far, I have found that a bite of fruit mixed in can make all the difference in the world.  Yum.

Have a Happy Tuesday.

                            Peace,

                                      Danny
