First Day in Bangkok


Donncha is spending the day in the office so this morning I loaded the girls and the kids into a taxi and headed to Carrefour and Tesco Lotus on Rama 4 to get things that we will need for the week. The traffic was heavy by the time we left and it took us ages to get there. Then the shopping was hectic with the kids running all over the place. But we got all we needed including a christmas tree so to make it feel more like christmas. I also stocked up on yogurt and fresh milk. Thai dairy is fantastic ad even Jack was excited to see the yogurt in the shop. And the fruits..... it was nice not having to pay a fortune for a pack of jambu rose apple, guavas and a couple of Thai mangoes! It's great to be back.

The apartment is really nice - very spacious, clean and homey. I will take some pictures soon and post them.

All thoughts are on Donncha's Dad who is having a triple bypass this morning. Hopefully we will have good news tomorrow that the operation has been a success.

My own parents and Amin are in the second day of the pilgrimage rituals. I hope they perform their tasks without any complications.

Right I must get on with the shopping!
