Slow Days
October 30, 2007 | 3 Comments
Yesterday was just super lazy. I was going to finish painting outside, but we ran out of paint. And we did not feel like going anywhere to purchase more right then.
So I just parked myself in front of the computer, while Nan dumped herself on the sofa to watch TV and promptly fell asleep.

I do not now for sure. Who can read the mind of these women anyway. But Nan gifted me yesterday with a bright red Ferrari jacket, complete with “Ferrari” in bright yellow letters on the back, and a bunch of patches from various Ferrari, I guess Formula 1 sponsors, across the chess and arms. Is […]

Well, the day opened with nothing special really. We just had breakfast, and then cleaned the house up a little bit. Basically just being lazy.
Then the music started. It was morlam at full blast, so we peeked outside to find some of Nan’s relatives coming down the street while dancing to the music. They where […]

A Relaxing Day
October 25, 2007 | 12 Comments
Today we had another relaxing day. As we did not have any construction folks to deal with today, we got out of bed around 9, then just loafed around a bit, had a late breakfast and then we cleaned up a bit outside the house. Burning empty cement sacks, that sort of thing.
After lunch we […]

Quite a Day in Isaan

This day has been a real good one. Got up before Nan for once, so today it was my turn to tickle her until she could not stand it anymore and got out of bed. Then it was breakfast consisting of the last of my bacon and sausage and eggs.
The morning was then spent […]

Things Going On

Yesterday the tiling of the kitchen floor was complete. So we continue outside with distributing sand and gravel. We are putting a one meter wide concrete “skirt” around the house. It will stop mud from splashing up the wall when it’s raining hard. And when it rains here it is always raining cats and dogs.
We […]

This morning we again motored in to Putthaisong. This time to visit the charming ladies at the Honda dealership to pick up the licence plate and registration book for the Honda Click.
