| Nada isn't feeling well today. She has her period and is suffering because of it. Last week, there were a couple of days when I wasn't feeling the best and Nada stepped up and took care of me. I didn't cook or clean and spent most of that time in bed. It's times like these when having a partner really pays dividends. Today, while Nada rested, I went to the store to get groceries. When I got back, I cooked us pancakes with banana, fresh cream and (fake) maple syrup. The real stuff was almost 900 baht for a small bottle, so instead, I bought the cheap version for 90 baht. It's been raining a lot over the last few days, and because there was a break in the inclement weather, I took the opportunity to stock up on essentials. I ended up spending 4500 baht (around US$136), which didn't include any fruit or vegetables. We now buy them from the fresh food markets, which are just around the corner from where we live. It's a much cheaper option and I enjoy walking around the different stalls listening to the vendors calling out loudly in Thai. There's a great atmosphere, and even though I haven't got a clue what they are saying, the vibe is intoxicating. They sell everything from recently butchered pork to roast chicken and an array of freshly picked vegetables and herbs. There's also fresh seafood, desserts and Thai fast food...various meats placed on sticks that are cooked right in front of you. I got home just in time to avoid the most recent downpour. Lucky for me, I love the rain and soon, I'll go for an afternoon nap. There's nothing like the sound of rain to help lull me to sleep. I'm hoping the paracetamol I got for Nada helps and she is soon back to her old self. It's amazing how love changes everything...and mostly for the better. |
