A relaxing but nonetheless pretty warm evening ;-)

Left: Kik & I preparing our food on a sissling hot plate, deliciously prepared beforehand by Kik & Gong, our housekeeper (and behind the camera).

Kik surprised me the other night with preparing a meal for us which involved us, me, but mainly him, haha, to prepare our food on a sissling hot plate.
Stories of my father and stephmother, having such a dinner at my brothers house, jumped up and were retold with pleasure.
Big difference though is, that Kik and I surrendered to the hot/warm weather by sitting as lightly dressed as possible at the table with two fans blowing from either side of us.
Its not often that we have the chance on a quite home dinner, because normally KIk has to work every evening on stage at Simon Cabaret, and in futur we will also have The Backstage to look after, so as such this is one of our last opportunities for such a meal in a long time.
All made possible by Kik, who has taken off from work for our last days together , before I leave for Holland this comming monday.
A pleasant surprise we both enjoyed... but it was very warm indeed, pffff... and ofcourse we could have switched on the two aircons in the living/diningroom, but well......fans, using much less energy, should be sufficient....so instead we dress a little less formal haha... our small contribution to the environement ;-)
By the way we try only to use our aircons when we sleep/go to bed because a good/decent night rest is truly valuable! ;-)


Right: Me, warm, hot as it is, with a totally relaxed and happy Didi in one of her usual begging positions. Didi is a very rare breed, she truly enjoys the warmth here and seems totally immune to it (which ofcourse she is not). More and more I get the feeling she wouldn't like me bringing her back to Europe if the situation dictated such! She seems to love it here, the freedom, the warmth, even the food, but above all all the attention bestowed upon her by the Thai here ;-)
