Tag Archives: going to the cafe

Friday 7-10-2026

This was taken last year about this time in my first rainy season. Sometimes umbrellas aren’t enough and a ‘rain suit’ sold by the locals is a great solution. It is a light trash bag with sleeves and a hoodie. I carry it in my carrier, along with my umbrella, in my carrier all the time, since you usually don’t get much warning that it’s going to rain, how hard, how long, etc. Mine is actually purple, though it looks pink in this photo. It’s an invaluable clever product.

This morning our rain suits got a good workout. It’s down to a ‘regular rain’ now, rather than a blowing harder rain. We’ve been to the gym, had breakfast, I’ve had a really nice massage, and we’re spending time at my place before we go to the cafe to get out of my housekeeper’s way. (She’s at Brian’s place now.)

I’ve put my guitar in its case and propped it up in a corner where it will stay until after dinner. I’m finally making a bit of progress with the C progression of chords on my guitar. I’m remember the order of the chords and I remember where my fingers go without checking my diagrams, but I’m still really slow. I move from one chord to the next, trying to get a clean sound. I can usually try the round of 4 chords three times before my fingertips throw a fit. Then I put the guitar down, go do something else, and then pick it up and try again later.

I’m finding lots of things I want to share with you. I’m trying to make some kind of a plan on how to group the different things. It’s wonderful to know that there are so many great things out there that we can enjoy.

I started off the new month here with a bang by reacting to something we ate last night (I guess). I opted out of the gym and am just now feeling pretty good – particularly after taking a lengthy nap. We ate a Thai dish last night, and I must have been reacting to some spice they used. Brian has been really careful to shield me from too spicy food here, but we’re consciously trying to branch out a bit now, since we ARE in Thailand…

This is the birthday painting I did for a friend yesterday. He was pleased, so I was relieved and happy.

I will make this a super quiet day today. I’ll probably head over to the cafe in awhile – just for a break in my day – and a delicious iced mocha. I want to finish some sketches I started yesterday.

I wish you a happy month. Hopefully Mother Nature will decide to give everyone a break and give us all some weather we can wrap our arms around.
