Walking Market

We've had a really fun weekend, though I've been a bit slow to get started today and haven't even been to do the washing.  I'll regret not doing that later in the week.  We had a terrific time on Friday night with Wicus and I cooked a great dinner (even though I say so myself) but will share that with you in a later post.

Every weekend until the end of April, the walking market is on at the Park (aka Lake).  We took a trip down there on Saturday as Oil has a stall selling the "famous" meatballs.  It was amazing to see everyone out and about and fortunately the weather had cooled a little by the time we got down there.  We were in for a great surprise as Bitong (Pii Kob's daughter) was also there and we haven't seen her for ages.  She's really growing and her English has definitely improved.

The weather has cranked up the heat and I think it is here to stay for some time.  The walking market stops at the end of April because then the rains come ... something to look forward to.  Depending on who you speak to, they say Thailand has two seasons - hot and very hot

Mr John has gone to school today, along with the other foreign teachers.  The last day of the month is payday so they're all there but there is nothing to do, pretty much no one else in and the lady with the wages won't be in 'til after 2pm.  Every other foreign teacher we know seems not only to have finished school already, but also left on their summer travels. Feeling a bit like Cinderella.....
