Same same only different







Well what a week this has been. Our Aussie friend Dave had a birthday and we all got together to celebrate at one of our friends bars. Much laughter was had by all. We ate seafood, rice and cockles and of coarse birthday cake. Steve chipped a tooth opening a shell, so we will have to use my foot file to smooth it out(ha ha ha ).We took our bike to our mechanic and had an oil change, so while we were waiting we decided to have a spa afternoon together and Steve had his first massage, now he is hooked. While he was enjoying his hour and 20 minite hot oil rub down I got my hair colored and had a pedicure. After feeling relaxed we decided he needed a haircut too. That"s a first in the 17 years we`ve been together .Four services with a tip all for $60.00 . My color was the most expensive $30.00. I think she charged me 10 bucks per half inch. Sitting in the chair experiencing it from a completely different view, in the past 25 plus years it`s only been Tracey and Cynthia that have touched my curly locks, so it was definitley a different do. They rinsed off my color with refreshing cool water followed by three shampoos, but no conditioner, squeeky clean I was. She then blow dried my hair into a smooth flat finish which lasted an hour or so. Between the humidity and me sweating the curls were back in no time. But I have to say that I did look fabulous while it lasted. For those of you skyping us I`m sure your tired of my gray roots hidden beneath my headbands.
More beach days, more wonderful Thai food and yes another birthday party to attend. This time it was Kevan`s ( the German who has the hotel-bar with his brother and Mother, who we had Christmas with). We celebrated with champagne with a shot of redbull in it. Now we know it sounds bad, but it was great. Redbull is originally a Thai product and it is sold in small glass bottles in a syrup form (unlike our carbonated version at home). They had a roasted pig on a spit, and the guy from Rock Creek made sure we got some of the back (loin). Lots of salads and smiles. Later in the evening the band started up , and Steve got to jam a bit too! He had so much fun that dancing was included!!!! Later in the evening we went to Rock City (nightclub with 2 heavy metal bands) in Patong. We even did the after hours Macdonald's routine. So needless to say today is a down day, with naps included. ZZZZZZZZZZ's after cheese.
