An exciting week

Amazing what a couch can do to your life!

Wow, what a week it's been here!  On Monday Mr John judged a maths competition and got an early dart so we went out to look at couches and ended up buying a fridge which was delivered that afternoon.  On Tuesday I went and bought a couch we had seen on the weekend which was delivered that afternoon.  On Wednesday we went with our friend Kik to an internet shop and signed up for Wi-Fi and TV as she'd found us a good deal.  On Thursday the engineers called and installed said Wi-Fi and TV. 

It's just amazing the transformation in the house.  And last night we got to watch a replay of the State of Origin rugby league deciding game (played on Wednesday) whilst sitting on the couch and having a cold drink - heaven!  Best bit was I didn't know the result so it was like watching it live. 

This weekend is a four day weekend for a Buddhist holiday so Mr John has booked us a lovely place at Koh Chang which, I believe, is the second biggest island in Thailand.  We head off there tomorrow morning for some R&R which is greatly needed for Mr John as there are only two terms in a Thai school year and this one is incredibly long.  He popped out and bought a microphone last night, which is a common thing for teachers to use over here, as he's been in danger of loosing his voice all week.  He's still got his sense of humour though as when I told him on Wednesday night how busy I was now going to be, what with the internet being installed which means I can continue my family tree research amongst other things, he regaled me with his thoughts of my busy day - back to bed for an hour, coffee by the lake, lunch, bit of shopping.  Honestly, the man has no idea!
