Continued blogging. With 3 weeks to catch up on (not including posting photos to the early existing entries, which I'll do at some later point) at, say, an hour a post (involving captioning and organizing photos in Picasa, and adding text), that's 21hrs of work (not including internet outages).
Awi, who was home as well, asked if I wanted to join him for lunch, and we drove to another of the small local restaurants in Nonthaburi he frequents for a cheap but filling rice or noodle meal. Afterwards we drove around looking for the 'ice-cream sandwich' man with his cart, but failing to find him, Awi took me to an ice-cream parlour / restaurant he's visited since he was a kid when the family was back from Vienna on home-leave. I got to sample 'the usual': a dollop of vanilla ice-cream with a mould of red jello. Two desserts in one!
After more blogging in the afternoon, I joined Awi on Day 1 of his new exercise regime: walking five 500m laps around the pond, and doing some weights on the stationary machines there. Shain joined us at the last minute, and lost interest in walking after two laps. I joined him trying out all the exercise machines until Awi was done. Passed by some guys playing a highly athletic game of soccer-volleyball -- where you can touch the ball, with your feet or head, just three times before it has to reach the other side of the net.
Shain's energy level picked up again once we got home, and he showed me how he can ride a two-wheeler, before crashing and reverting to his tricycle.
Popped through the gate to Naew's sister's house. Api lives next door with her family; they finished their house last year, and the family bought the empty plot between the two houses so that now they're connected through the garden. Api has two beautiful Thai ridge-back dogs, one frisky at 5 months, and the other adorable at just 1 month old.
After dinner, watched 'Unstoppable' with Shin and Shain, the story of a runaway train disaster averted (based on some true incident in Pennsylvania not too many years back).
Then blogged some more.
Kudos to you kiddo for the batches of blogging you're putting up! I have not had regular internet access, and was feeling out of touch - but now feel better knowing you're playing catchup too! Hope you're well, happy and healthy!
