Colors

Or is it Colours, make up your mind will ya!

Anyway, I am here to bore you with yet another report on the hut, as that and the “I love you, mahk mahk” is the only thing we talk about these days during our daily chats. So here it goes.

“Did you start painting the ceiling today?”

“Yes put color on roof”

“Okay…uh…put color, what color are you putting?”

“I not tell you, I want you to see!” *giggles*

Now this scares me, as she did want to have green tiles on the floors, but I managed to negotiate a change to light blue. The ceiling I never thought about, as I assumed it would be white, like any sane person would. I just forget that this is in Thailand, and not only that, this is Isaan. So the outside of the house is going to be light green with bright red windows and doors. I just hope my lovely teerak is not color blind!

Whatever she does, it’s her house, not mine. So for me it can be painted bright green with yellow dots for what I care. If she likes it, I’ll love it too. But deep down, I have this northern european urge for order and things that fit together. We’ll see how long I manage to suppress my nordicness.

Else the crew has finished the outside stucco. Now we are hoping the weather will hold for it to dry, so it can be painted too. But I am not holding my breath as this is the rainy season.

That’s it for today. I am still fairly sick. My sinuses are all filled with slime, and I have a splitting behind the eyes headache, that is only kept in check with paracetamol. My itching throat and cough I keep in check with the best thing in the world that does not work. Martel V.S.O.P Cognac. My liver will be well pickled when this is over!
