post-birthday Wrapup

Well Dean-mas was great. Mint was very sweet to me, and we had a lovely breakfast (included in the rate of AU$45/night) before coming back to the room for a rest.

We hit the Warorot markets and enjoyed famous Chiang Mai-style sausage with rice for lunch. Mint bought some bits and pieces, I bought Lara a birthday present (how’s THAT for thinking ahead?) and we came home for a sleep.

Well, Mint had a sleep. I checked some emails and wasted some time on the internet. Among the gifts I received, Rob Wilson was kind enough to give me a gift voucher for RedBubble, an online art gallery that allows artists to publish their work, and consumers to buy prints/shirts/cards of that work. Neat idea. I frittered away precious hours making a list of favourites, which you can see for yourself here.

Just finished “afternoon tea” with Her Mintiness and her mother will be arriving at 6pm, after a drama-filled day of waiting to be granted permission to leave the area and visit in Chiang Mai.  As a result, there’ll be no going “out” to celebrate my birthday but we might do that tomorrow instead.
