Good evening from chiang mai and good afternoon to the uk. I type this in one very stuffed state having just completed a Thai food cooking course afternoon.
The day has been nice relaxed wig enjoying temperatures of around 33 today, always amusing to here the sizzling BBQ sound of when the sun creeps out in the morning and meets Tinas fair skin. We had to get alot of the admin stuff done this morning and we now have flights booked for Phuket on wed 16th, we have a 2 day trek tomorrow involving elephant riding, white water rafting, waterfall swimming and sleeping in bamboo huts with tribe people. Going to try and explain the 4-4-2 system and the beauty of jimmy bullards sing before I leave there.
My lack if underwear is now less of crisis as my new one is having hand washed some of my clothes (well technically Tina) and they have turned yellow, so now look like some half turned british/Caribbean banana everywhere I walk.
We went to a Thai cooking school this afternoon called Baan Thai cooking school which started out with a walk to the marked for the ingredients and the 4 courses that you make yourself. I choose chiang mai curry and chicken, hot and sour soup with shrimps, spring rolls and Thai prawn type dish. Cooking with 9 others, 4 from Austria, Canada, England etc. Went well and I enjoyed being next to the hapless Austrian lads jurgen and George, made me feel I was doing ok. Made the mistake of choosing to add 5 more chillis than everyone else but as I speak my sight and bowls are still intact. I think jargon and George might have thought I was taking the piss out of them though as when they were driving off in the mini bus and made a waving gesture that could have been mistaken as the fawlty tower esque german salute- this was not intentional but hopefully it didn't come across that way.
Anyway that is where you find us. I have now realised there is no Ipswich game today, I want to stay and watch the England game which will start 12.15 tonight but have a feeling Tina will be difficult to persuade but stranger things have happened.
Robbie c out for now.
