It is very busy around the village house today as we are busy constructing a Thai outdoor kitchen between the house and the wash/toilet hut. We are putting some of the money we saved on rent, by spending 4 months in the village, towards upgrading the village house. Here are some pics as they get ready to make a concrete slab and install the vertical posts to hold the new roof. The concrete is all mixed by hand and wood is cut by hand saws.
I will add pics as the construction proceeds. It is cool in the village today, only 28 degrees.
Jaidan likes yogurt and at 2 is able to feed it to himself. One of the construction workers brought his wife and 3 and a half year old boy along with him as his wife knows Thavorn. Here are some pics of Jaidan teaching the older boy how to eat yogurt. It is interesting that, having just turned 2, Jaidan towers over the Thai boy who is almost twice as old.
I have 2 more weeks to spend in the village and watching the construction proceed will make it a little more entertaining for me. My calf muscle is just about healed so I can start running again tomorrow. Walking or running, the Thai villagers think the farang is crazy to be doing that rather than drinking Thai whisky or sleeping in the hammock. Thai not go moon :-)
