Thailand Day Three

experienced another thunderstorm last night - about 3.30am until about 6am I think. still not sleeping prticulrly well and so am trying new tactic tonight - aircon off and nother blanket - you should hve seen their fcaes when I asked for an additionl blanket at reception this morning!

So the tough choices of the day now consist of i) wht shll I hve for brekfst ii) wht time shll I hve lunch iii) wht shll I hve for lunch and the often asked question number of times each day - "how much time hve I hd on this side and should I a) turn over or b) go into the shade now??

Before coming away I downloded Jane fonda's autobiogrphy onto my ipod nd I hve to sy tht for the last two dyas I hve been riveted. she reads it which mkes it much more enjoyble nd I'm currently up to 1971 ( good vintge tht year so I understnd!)

the most excitement tody ws stry dog which wndered into the resort - very funy wtching the pool boys try to chse him wy!

Not sure if the rin hs brought the lizrds out but 2 wtched me hving beer on my vernd s the sun went down nd hve run the guntlet with literlly nother 6 on the wy to the br in the lobby. Hving to hve G&T to stey my nerves s I write this before dinner .... well it seems good excuse nywy.

fngers crossed the thunderstorms sty wy tonight lthough more re forecst. shll wnder off to hve dinner nd be mde fuss of by the witing stff (I'm the only person here on their own so quite novelty!).

BTW - a note of warning in cse I have dinner with ny of you when I return - hving relised tht I would hve hd over 60 meals on my own by the time I come bck, if I meet ny of you for dinner nd hve book with me, don't tke offence, it's become habit. and if I forget to talk to you nd just smile at the scenery, kick me under the tble!!
