Wife's Birthday and Songkran Fun

My wife’s birthday falls right in the middle of the Songkran water festival, Thailand’s biggest and most popular festival. Lisa got to open her presents this morning and I went to the market to buy jork (rice porridge). I was planning to make scrambled eggs but we had no eggs (they were all boiled up for the Easter egg decorating for the kids at our Organic church meeting). Lunch was with Mr Kawano, the owner of the taekwondo school our son goes to along with a family from our son’s school. Then we all crashed for the afternoon and slept until around 4pm. Then it was off to have more Songkran water fun. Unfortunately, Lampang has full on water spraying on 12-13 April so today it was very quiet.

Yes, that's me on the left completely soaked and our two sons

We did find a family near the clock tower round about splashing cars as they went by so we joined in and had fun with them. Tomorrow we might be off to Ann’s parent’s house who is one of the English students at the Lighthouse.
