28/12/2010 new dining table.

Getting to sleep last night was once again an interesting affair.  My sister in law provided us with a raised platform to put our reed mats on.  We also put up a mosquito net, although by the time that was done the mosquitos were inside the net. Forgot to bring the aeroguard.  

It seems that the dogs have been breeding here and we now have quite a few of them in the surrounding properties that have taken a shine to howling until at least, only the farlangs are still awake. Remember bed time is typically around nine o’clock.  Having set the scene with everyone part taking in peaceful slumber, imagine my surprise when my sister in law complained bitterly about the muted ringing of a nokia. The latter belonging to her daughter – well, now that we’d arrived it did.  You would have been forgiven for not hearing the phone over the cacaphonie of the dogs outside.  Sensational.  I guess it all about environment.

Having had some sleep at least we were off early this morning as it had been decided a dining table was required.  With the financier in tow (that being me of course), we arrived at the local furniture manufacturer.  Once again, different than what you would first expect as the manufacturer worked with plaster and concrete.  Throw in the odd bit of marble and some gravel, wait for it to set and there you have it.  They polish the finished product while you wait.  We now have seating for eight and the seats are equally as comfortable as the bed we sleep on.

How do you spell cushions in Thai?…….
