She was born in Chiang Mai!
Today's the day to visit the local Dollar Stores (or perhaps Baht Store) to pick up all those little things that one needs day to day... mops, brooms, dish drainer, dish towels, kitchen paper and holder...Hmmmm... that reminds me... aluminiumiumium foil, cling wrap... Maybe I'd better make a list.
With the windows open and the front door open too, there is a delightful cross breeze blowing through the house. Nice...
And nice too is sitting here with a big mug of Twinings "English Breakfast" tea. The first morning tea in a new home. I went out last night and bought a temporary mug (a beer stein actually) to hold me over until the household boxes arrive. It's almost big enough to replace my regular mug, but it's right handed...

Sounds like you are already settled in, and all is well with the world. Long may it remain so. I look out my window at the lovely mature trees and fields to see...the side of a house that has just been squeezed in next to us, and the beautiful trees just a memory

Having no power is a real pain in the bum. Glad to hear you are back on line.

Like dreams, I'm a coffee drinker so can't help there, but I will say good luck with the staying off the booze. I managed three months off last year, and am considering doing it again soon. The trouble is when the sun is shining and the birds singing, a nice cool beer... I'll shut up now.

pdurrant - Good Luck on your first day at your new job. I spent four years doing an almost 2 hour, each way, commute. There was no public transport, so I had to drive, but after a while learned to love the wind down time before I reached home.
Charlie- Welcome home and  on the cost of the brake job
Stitchawl - Dollar stores there too? I wonder if Felicity is meowing because she smells something or another cat smell that was left behind?
I'm glad everyone survived the predicted storms and Vydor Scope I'm glad you have your power back and the AC again.
The day is done, I'm home, and I have my coffee and M&M's. Life is good again.

Coffee and M&M's sounds like fun. I'll have the same, I think, only with Cadbury's Oreo chocolate bar as we are out of M&M's
