armed and dangerous!!
The biggest water fight in Asia. We landed in Laos to find that we were in the middle of the Buddhist new year celebration’s. What fun imagine being able to pour water on anyone you see. No fights ensue unless they are water fights which involve whole hotels or families. It’s great. Here is a picture of an old man getting into it as a big water warrior.
Well the house has been a buzz with work this morning cleaning it to within an inch of its life. My guests have been helping and the smell of clean washing is divine.
Today we had a small visitor… a tiny bird that has been helping itself to a some of an aquarium filter… to make a nest… it is very chirpy and cute… and quite tenacious.. it has made the previously normal filter very furry!
Now I am off to mega mall to buy some non hallal sausage… and some Jusco laudry detergent… it smells lovely.. I think that I am a little addicted to it ( the smell)
till later

Well school is out for Easter! The last day going out with a bang as usual with to much to do, too many kids and tearful leavers. But now I am free.
The parental units arrive on Saturday… the caraway seeds are so close that I can almost taste them… not to mention the massive hugs that I will give them. Isn’t it funny how things change… When I was a Kid my Mother through the gratuitous use of “the silent treatment” drilled into her her kids always phone. So much so now I have an almost Pavlovian response to airports with my fingers itching to text all and sundry with my intended destination and time that I am staying away…. when I arrive at my destination the same urges almost cripple me again… Mum and dad have no such qualms… with the text I received today saying “arrived in Singapore off to bed now” I responded… no response back. I know that Dad has international roaming perhaps his inherited Scottish penny pinching has won a skirmish in the war with mums love of the children…. for now
Well I have had a night to sleep on my new blog (imagine anna asleep on her keyboard!) well actually I was too excited to sleep or perhaps that was dinner last night… I havent had fish sauce in quite sometime… lets just say… tum tum not happy:(
Today is school, second last day of term… four days until the parental units arrive… more excitement.. finally I will united with some caraway seeds so I can make some rye bread…
Till this afternoon…
