Don’t take that lying down

Wednesday 25th

Another long day at the office, leaving about 7:30 this morning and 5:30 tonight. If I worked these hours at home I could make a lot of money.

Pui arrived from Bangkok late morning and is sorting out well, filed, site and licence data for the system.

I revised all the name tables. Making sure indexes were correct, the look ups worked and so forth and then worked on the tables for the well test.

As we were leaving I commented to the driver there were no cows today. This turned out to be premature as they were not that far down the road. Not as big a herd as yesterday and we were able to get past them. The excitement of looking at cows backsides wears off pretty quickly.

I got the driver to stop at the 7-11 on the way home to replenish my stock of fattening nibbles and soft drink and then had a quick wander through the market a short distance down the street. It was mainly food stalls and seeing the number of flies on some of the meat was not really very encouraging.

On the way home we went through some different streets and came to the reclining Buddha in the grounds of a temple. This would have been about 30 metres long, possibly more. On the other side there was a seated Buddha about 5 m high. I also took some photos of an old building and a new one in the area.

I ate from the Thai menu tonight. Some duck and fish dished and some crumbed chicken. I was chatting with the supervisor after that but we were both starting to scratch from insects, so he headed back to work and I went to my room to finish the crossword.
