Groceries.. part deux.

Took another trip into the village to pick up a few more items that I had forgotten the first time. I headed out about ½ an hr earlier this time, and 2 less morning coffees. Seemed to make a big difference. I didn’t overheat until the very end of the walk. Whereas, the first time, I was hot about 200m down the road. In addition to the forgotten items, I grabbed some more coffee, chicken and beer. I am supposed to get a delivery of ice today. So, with any luck, I should have the ability to keep this stuff cool later today. It looks as if a block of ice will last me 4 days, which works out well for keeping the chicken from getting funky. I now have a fairly well stocked kitchen and should be able to look after my eating needs. I sent off emails to my friends in Laos, so that they know all is well, and should expect to see me either the 9th or 23rd of March. I am really looking forward to seeing them. Once there, I will start to find out more about the fine points of trying to stay long term and doing something business wise with or without Jookky. She’ll be a great help as she can speak English very well, and seems to be well connected with people who can get things done for you in a hurry. My ice didn’t end up coming, so I thought I’d better cook up some chicken at dinner. I had picked up some flour, and had some eggs, so I made myself fried chicken in homemade batter with some sweet chili dipping sauce I also bought earlier. It was damned good. I had a few beers while listening to tunes when the generator was on. Hit the sack around 9p… what an animal.
