Bangkok Week 688

September 2, 2021

Granny’s completed one full week in Quarantine! Less than one to go! And parks are still closed, so Arlo’s getting inventive with other green spaces.

Happy Friday! Arlo models his pensive pose.

The little sumo after his sauna.

Parks are still closed: on Saturday morning, we drove up to Dad's workplace to enjoy the green spaces at his campus.

Flowers! It's been so long since Arlo's seen flowers in the wild.

These are pretty tall flowers!

These ones look fluffy.

Inspecting all the flowers.

No roses to stop and smell, so these will suffice.

Dad gives Arlo a tour.

Smiling with the robot, and the BIOTEC sign.

Arlo's upping the ante: scooter time!

It's his first time scootering outside; the ground is rougher than in the house.

Still figuring out how to control the steering.

Getting better.

Hey look, a steering wheel on this water hydrant!

Smile! Arlo's having fun exploring.

Granny's friends heard that she's nearby! They've come out to look for her.

Long ride back; can't quite stay awake.

Next stop: Granny! Look up! There she is! Hi, Granny!

Can you spot the Granny, too?

And it turns out Granny's hotel has a little park, complete with a fish pond.

From here on out, Arlo will refer to visiting Granny as "going to the park".

Inventorying his diaper basket. Everything is still there!

Arlo can't comb his own hair, so he's practicing on Girl, the duplo.

Wow! What a healthy lunch, Arlo!

The pomelo sprouts are still going strong, in case you were wondering.

Splash splash time!

Watering the plants is half the fun.

Mr. Cutie, eating his lunch.

And taking an afternoon break to talk to Granny.

Oh my! Another delivery from Trat. How spoiled are we?

Yaa sent some yellow flowers for cooking: Arlo tries a handful raw.

New favorite fruit: lamyai (or Dragon Eyes). So sweet!

Arlo heard the neighborhood kids playing in the street, so he came up to get a better look.

If only he could go play with them!

Getting ready to have a sleepover with Bella.

No week is complete without an update on the durian: lots of healthy green leaves now that it's in full shade!
