I have had a very idle Friday today. I took some time off for Eid last weekend but was never really idle. Today I woke up, washed the bedding and cleaned the bathroom, made myself breakfast (purple rice, steamed broccoli, eggs and nam pla) and tea, then faffed and faffed. Then I went for lunch to my favourite lunch place, where I discovered a very good combination of dishes, though one that is hard to put together outside Thailand: a catfish laab with a corn and salted egg salad. They went together extremely well.
Then I went for coffee to Nana where I sat in the garden and a terrific bolt of lightening struck almost directly overhead. I toughed it out and though it started raining a bit as I walked back, it was not enough to get me too wet. This is hardly KL, and it will hopefully break the heat which has been creeping back up since the rain of a few days ago.
Then faffing and idling again, though I do have work to do, I didn’t do it.
Night before last I only slept about 90 minutes as I had a deadline to meet. It’s always not the next day but the day after that a sleepless night catches up, I find.
