I had a shave for the first time in Thailand last night. Since we have to look presentable for school, I thought that I would shave every time I got some noticeable facial hair. Last night was the first time I have shaved since I have left England and my moustache could only be classed as noticeable if you were looking for it.
That basically describes how follically endowed I am when it comes to facial hair, however, it does make it much easier and cheaper when I only have to shave once a month. I feel for those who have to shave every morning.
I taught a lesson this morning which consisted of me handing out pieces of paper and then getting the class to make paper aeroplanes and then taking them outside to see how far they would go. I threw mine straight into a tree, which caused my plane to fall into a puddle, I lost....not good.
Last night was horrible, it was so wet and rainy and the insects seemed especially loud, I think they were trying to compete with the thunder. We keep the shutters open all the time to prevent our house from becoming an oven, so i was covered by water as the mosquito net turned the rain into a fine spray.
We were then awoken at 5 by a neighbour that thought it was an appropriate time to cut the grass with a not so quiet strimmer.
The food here is still great and it is really cheap. We go to the market every night to buy tea, and end up spending just over £1 each. We have now got some electric woks, which I have yet too see, which i rather exciting as it allows me to practice creating mouth destroying dishes that I will test on David.
As for washing our clothes, the several months of ironing I had at home has not aided me so far as the school provides a maid service. So we just put our dirty washing in a basket on Monday, Wednesday or Friday and there it is the same evening, all clean and nicely ironed. It's lovely.
However, we still have to wash our underwear ourselves. And after hanging up some to dry on the balcony, I returned home to find to pairs of underpants in a muddy puddle at the side of our house. Yay!
As for the title, I have no idea.

Nice imagery Ben.
ReplyDeleteIt is very nice of you to keep making grammatical errors just so your little brother can keep up on his quota of pedantic corrections.
I hope to see you on face time some time soon.

Sorry to take up the early blogs but I forgot to say earlier.
ReplyDeleteMAID SERVICE??
Its cushy, she washes and irons all of our clothes and all we have to do is to leave them on our doorstep.
DeleteI was starting to feel slightly anxious as I had read the first 3 and a half paragraphs and had yet to come upon a mistake but don't worry as I have found 3.
ReplyDeleteParagraph 3 line 3 - ... not .... ( an ellipsis is 3 dots not 4)
Paragraph 4 line 3 - I not i (you need to stop doing that)
Paragraph 5 line 3 - is not i
I conclude that on this blog you have a slight problem with line 3.

Forgot about:
ReplyDeleteParagraph 5 line 2 - to not too
wow, can't believe you've been gone long enough to need a shave already!
ReplyDeletelike the sound of the aeroplane lesson.. how it's related to English I'm not too sure, but it sounds like fun!
more info on food.. as to be expected ;) my mouth has now started watering at just the thought of food.. only one day left of juicing!

Ellipsis is 3 dots not 2
Deleteit appears all your lessons for Ben haven't worn off on me, apologies Joe... I'll be more careful next time!
DeleteAnyone else not know there was even a name for...3 dots? Must be a generation thing. Very funny Joe.
ReplyDeleteHope the weather's improved for you Ben...at least you don't need to worry about getting the washing dry! You'll get a shock when I send you my invoice (with travel expenses) for all that ironing!
Graham's gone round to see your Dad tonight, armed with a choice of Man films (chicks,cars,guns,fighting and explosions), beer and crisps. What a night.
Keep us posted on your adventures and take care.
