1. Eight o'clock and all is calm. This mother is having a few minutes of peace whilst the other mother and babe sleep. We can only hope it is a continuous sleep.
2. Down Town calls us today with a bit of luck. Shopping for the young man - proper swimming gear and other such items. A good lunch out maybe.
3. What has happened to the scoring. I await the results. The midnight publication seems to have fallen away. And what say you to the weak twos - something to think about?
4. The next time I visit, my intentions are to plan a small trip to the North of the County, the Golden Triangle, near Burma. The constrast from the bubble will be sharp, and allow one to ponder on other aspects of Thailand.
5. The mountain farmers in the North are growing the Opium Poppy which surprised me as the law on drugs is so severe here. The authorities have difficulties in catching them as the terrain is hostile and the poppies are grown amongst other crops.
6. I met some of Kaaren's staff yesterday, two of whom were educated in England. Young and keen and in true Thai fashion willing to please the boss. The design of the DTAC stand was novel. The shape was of a submarine cut in two with large bean bags scattered about so that spectators could view the events live on screen should they not wish to be out in the heat.
7. And surprise surprise I witnessed another Midsomer Murder. Doubtless there a few people living there now.
8. News of SSAFA, Credit Union, bikes and other such matters?

Good morning.
1 There will be a full posting later in the day. Credit union, SSAFA, bikes, bridge, and so on.
2 Now, I'm dressed for biking, I'm about to boil my egg, and (I guess) I must join the other bikers in the Square. Ready to cycle.
2.1 However, I want to be back in good time for a couple of hours clearing up in the garden, and ironing, and blogging.
3 The Golden Triangle, eh. Yes, lots of opium there.
Stayathome (on his bike)
