Back into the slow lane.

Got right back in the saddle with the morning stroll at 7:30a. On the way, I dropped off my bed linens at the laundry… they were on there way to being a bit ripe. As I am officially done the first two weeks, I decided that I would start to revisit my Thai lessons that I had started with my friend Dana in Vancouver. I need to shop for groceries tomorrow,. So, after lunch, I set out to create my list in phonetic Thai. Many of the items came quiet easily from memory, but a few were really buried in my brain, and some I just did not know. I spent about a half hour on it before I was through, and at 2pm I was expecting another ice delivery from the taxi man who brought me home from the pier yesterday. I paid him for the transportation in advance, so we’ll see how things shake out. I still have ice left, but thought with my groceries tomorrow, it would be better to have some ready to go, than to have to wait a day. Earlier today, I had dropped off my empty water bottles off at the main house and Chiyoko had mentioned that it was all set up if I wanted to get my food orders delivered to the house. On the days I do not walk on the beach, I walk to the village for shopping. So I decided that I would continue walking for now, and should I start to be lazy later, I will take her up on the delivery service. As far as water goes, that is 60litres in 2 weeks for drinking and cooking. God knows, I must be getting enough, but you’d be surprised! Had a pretty uneventful day with a dinner of ramen to get me through until the big supply run to the market tomorrow morning.
