My Sunday visitors arrive shortly afternoon (12:34).
The pool is way too cold these days. I need a pool heater in Thailand !?
PlayStation on my front porch is the alternative to swimming.
A mother collects her son, she's got chores in mind for his Sunday.
He comes back later.
The visitor crowd increases.
Some wait their turn at PlayStation watching the big screen T.V.
I'm in my Command module (computer, T.V., easy chair, window on the porch).
A quick phone call to Mr. Bob's house.
He's on the road to Khon Kean, half way there.
I call his mobile...
I wish him the best and hope to see him on Christmas day.
By then he should be recovering from one of those balloon artery operations.
You know, artery rototiller.
I'm in the kitchen refilling my drink. There before me is Joeys lunch.
The Som Tam looks really good.
Just a pinch between two fingers, first impression, tasty salad.
Ten seconds pass: I'm in a cold Thai Chillies sweat.
Nonstop hiccups included.
Half an hour later, after eating a handful of steamed peanuts I regain control.
MEMO TO SELF:
NO SOMTAM, unless especially made for farang (ONE THAI CHILI ONLY).
Remember? Pool too cold for a swim.
300Baht of coins in the pool changed that thought instantaneously.
There's a load of towels in the wash machine.
5 p.m. plus two large bottles of coke a pack of cookies, assorted nuts and candy
"I go home" It sounds like a motorcycle convoy leaving my home.
