Winter is Coming

 Today's song is: 'All I want ... ' Carey

We put the christmas tree up yesterday because it was chiily outside when we woke up. -8 degrees and I suspect it will get a lot colder despite global warming. Jaidan was quite excited! It should be a good Christmas for him as he is at a great age. 

Today, Jaidan lost his first baby tooth. I hope the tooth fairy is good to him tonight.

Today is also my Russian friend Aly's 29 birthday. It has been 12 years since I first met her in Malaysia. I am surprised she is still in Malaysia as I personally did not like Malaysia for a number of reasons. I wish her well and hope she has a great year. :-)

Thavorn cooked a great fish dish last night and the sauce was particularly yummy, sweet and spicy as only the Thais can make.




Thavorn's job is going great and she is saving $2,400 a month which is making her very happy. Before you know it, she will have a million Baht in the bank which is something most Thais only dream of. That would be about Christmas 2022. 

THe plan is to still build a house in Thavorn's village, but she is in no hurry to do that and I suspect it will be in about 2 more years. However, things can change quickly so who knows.

Wwwhhhhaaazzzuuuupppp?

 Today's song is: Shivers .. Sheeran

Jaidan is still in school although the covid19 numbers are climbing back up in Ontario. Hopefully the schools can hang in there as the government is announcing Pfizer vaccines for 5 - 11 year olds this Friday. They seem to think all children who want one can have their first dose before Christsmas.

Thavorn's job is going well and she is in fantastic shape.




My covid hobby is building motorized Lego cars and Thavorn's hobby is collect Coach purses.






Christmas shopping is finished for Jadain. His big purchase is a DJI Mini 2 drone (actually for me and him) as well as a Lego tracked stunt car that he will build hinself (he is old enough now). He is also getting some GAP clothing, a 500m piece puzzle of wolves, and a moose stuffy with a blanket from Cabelas. He is also asking for a pokemon game for his Nintendo switch that he received last Christmas.

Thavorn's present was a Coach purse (go figure).

As for me, the drone will be fun and a good sharing activity with Jaidan.

I buy Lego motors from New Zealand and China because Lego has stopped making the cheaper ones and their new ones are twice as expensive and no better. There is some good stuff coming out of China. Much of the Lego stuff is bought up by collectors who resell it later at twice or three times what they paid for it.

Jaidan is still growing like a weed despite eating mostly junk. Spiderman for Hallowe'en.



Thailand is still having covid and protest problems so we are in no rush to get back there. Maybe even not this summer. Thavorn seems more concerned with padding her bank account rather than visiting Thailand. All is good.
