happy Woo-day to birth!
Woo’s birthday today, and for the record, so far he is not sharing it with a little person in Thailand. Well, none that I know of, anyway.
Hired a car for 3 days on Saturday, so Saturday morning we went shopping, picking up stuff for Mint’s mum, and stuff for Jack noi. It was wierd to drive again, and even though Thai traffic is moderately terrifying, it’s a lot easier than it looks.
Sunday morning we headed off to Mint’s mum’s place. First false start was me not bringing my passport, so we diverted home to grab that, just in case. Second false start was Mint forgetting her ID, so we diverted home to grab that, too. Then we were off!
Several toilet stops later, we were there! I was actually pretty impressed by the house, and it wasn’t too alien to my sensibilities. I already knew about there being no hot water, but was touched at bath time to discover Mint’s mum had boiled a bucket of water in the front fire for me to use in the shower. They also had just had power connected that very day, so it was nice to have a fan to sleep with.
