I met a new friend from Chiang Rai who also spoke Chinese and introduced me to some new northern food.

----------------------------

Ah, who knows.....I will try the good 'ol positive, feel-good thread. It's far too easy to talk about negative things.

So what was the BEST thing about TODAY??

Looks like l will make it too tomorrow. But who knows.

Flew back in to Chiang Rai and the drove to Phayao after 2.5 weeks away. Good to be back in our own home even with all the smoke around.

It's one day nearer to wheels up on Wednesday!

Which kind of food? Did you take photos?

Let's see. I spied two camel toes on Suthep road.

Encountered various smells on a short walk that I still can't identify. Some pleasant and some disturbing.

Outran a car that was trying to hit me while crossing Nimmanhemin. Still got some acceleration.

Got some long procrastinated stuff done in my smog bunker.

Good times

I think preparing for my first trip to Cambodia was probably the highlight of today. There is still two hours left though...

I got through it. Only about 12000 more to go.

.....girly went to Phuket for 6 days

.....had a few beers this arvo, came back....silence...no earache...no questions

but the best thing....my two gorgeous birds, are now a family of 5 !....baby photos tomorrow

I managed to take a walk today that I have not been physically up to for a month. Also got to stop for my favorite breakfast at Sunnui's.

The wife located a case of 1.45 mml bottles of Pepsi Max.

Got to admit I did get a little frustrated trying to find a web page for Nok Air. Just means I will have to stop into their office when we go to see GI Joe. That makes a guaranteed good day for later this week.

Yes I stopped in to AIS and talked about my air stick disconnecting when ever it felt like it (I can reconnect right away) but it is a nuscience. I was told that they are working on the equipment and it will all be sorted out in May. I choose to believe it.

All in all a good day.

HD, do you have a smart phone?

Nok Air have a pretty good app nowadays.

http://www.nokair.com/nokconnext/aspx/index.aspx Oops! did I spoil you anticipated fun day?

Wandering about in a sarong this morning, while getting the kids off to school, enjoying the cool ... only 70*F this morning !

First time in weeks I am awake before 9 a.m., and will see if biking in the morning is better than at 2 p.m.

D'uh!! haha

a good start to my day

Well gold went down today,...good news to me

I'm staying home today and cook! Found some new vegies for me called Mizuna!

So here go the description of my creation:

Lamb cutlets rubed with truffle scented grey salt
Lemony couscous with scallions
Baby Mizuna salad dusted with pistachio powder (says here on the package 'locally grown Kirk's Garden')
Take advantage of flavorful, vine-ripe cherry tomatoes, charred grilled until blistered (locally grown in Chiang Mai)

Finally get a chance to use some of the fancy oil and seasoning given by my secret love.

The best thing about today was getting a ticket to Krabi. I'm off for a few weeks to Ao Nang beachto get away from the smokey smog in Chiang Mai. Then it's back to Canada for 6 months of clear air.

Yesterday: Episode 15 of The Walking Dead was available online. Watched and enjoyed with beers.

Today: New chain and handlebar grips on the Triumph, only a week to go until my daughter visits for the first time.

Tomorrow and as far forward as I can see: Living in CM despite the smog and the whingers.......

Cheers,

Pikey.

Another day and off to a good start. An old friend called me, I got to sleep in and thanks to LenanRus I got the Nok air web page.

I don't have a smart phone and that is a good thing as I am tech challenged and would just get confused.

I do have a new kindle e reader and have just about figured it out. Loaded a bunch of stories now have to figure out how to book mark them but I think with persistence I will manage that.

Shaping up to be a good day. I enjoy warehouse 13 and the wife has agreed to forgo 50 minutes of her Thai soaps for me.LOL

I shouldn't be so sarcastic about her TV watching she does watch a lot of news shows and some comedy shows that remind me of Milton Berle.

My allergic reaction to this smoke is dying down! I've never had it so bad in my life but all in all, I still love it here.

Next year it will be family holidays away from the heavy smoke, and I always remind myself that a bad day here is better than a good day back where I came from....wherever that was.

Happy days....

Hope your next holiday isn't anywhere in SEA as I just got back from Vietnam and it's smoky just like over here

I sincerely hope you enjoy it more than I did. I was disappointed.

Could be all I ever heard was good things. No body mentioned that there was no reclining chairs with umbrellas on the beaches or that if you have tender feet the sand is a bit to grainy.

The walk along the beach side walk was a pleasant one.

Next time I go for a beach holiday it will be Cha am.

I had a good night out in Pattaya.

I didn't fail to wake-up again, this morning !

Living's great, compared to the alternative, as my late father used to say ...

Best thing about today !!waking up and seeing my beautiful wife!!

Threw a dart on the map of northern Thailand. Getting ready to drive there right now. The freedom..

That's the best thing about today so far.

Don't let a native catch you doing that!

Best thing? Getting up at the crack of Dawn.

Best thing today: being alive and kicking..still happily married:)
