Bangkok Week 864

January 16, 2025

It was a busy week, but unfortunately, the air quality has NOT been great… despite the lovely, cool temperatures. At least we had a nice weekend!

We start this week with hippos in pajamas.

And Lucy is getting first-class breakfast service this morning.

Holding her place in the swing queue while bouncing on the peanut ball.

Lucy blends right in with Arlo's classmates.

Rehearsal of the drama club.

Finally got a replacement pig & wolf game.

Coming home by tuk-tuk after coding & robotics.

Spirograph! The one we've been talking about.

Oh, it's harder than I remember.

Future crossword puzzler in the making.

It's a lovely, chilly Saturday morning. What a great time to read outside.

Wearing matching "sweaters" and reading with Grandpa.

Smiley eggs for breakfast.

Happy Saturday!

Photography by Lucy.

Someone's attempting to carry too many things to the basketball court.

A great morning to be up here.

Waiting patiently for the tuk-tuk (and Lucy left space for Mum to sit, too).

All ready!

After-swim snacks are serious business.

Playing the new game with Grandpa.

And looking things up in Picturepedia.

Here's the fashionista.

More of Lucy's photography.

Mr. Chatty and Teacher Big.

Floating around in a boat he made for himself.

It's Children's Day, so Teacher Big has a small snack for each of his students.

Trying the infinitiles.

Another absolutely lovely "winter" morning!

The balcony tiles are too cold to stand on!

Making sure the fish are okay in this chilly weather.

No better way to spend a cool morning (with clean air, I might add!) than at the park!

"Sweater" weather for Lucy.

It's even cool enough to play on the playground that's always in the sun!

Practicing her ball skillz with Granny.

It's a race!

And our traditional lunch at Mother May I.

Where the Christmas season is still alive!

Dad built Arlo and Lucy an impressive house!

Comfortably sleeps two.

Here's the salesman, showing off all the features.

Arlo decorated the exterior really nicely.

Redoing his coding assignment.

Focusing hard on their mark-making before bed.

We're now 3-for-3 for beautiful winter days... except that the air is poor again today!

Lucy just wants to snuggle in bed with bear.

Lovely temperatures, but another indoor morning at school because of the air.

Everyone's eager to run around outside after being cooped up inside all day.

Newest feature of the house: a car ramp!

Posing with her breakfast banana.

Breakfast video? Who did a poop to deserve this?

Another indoor morning...

... and afternoon collapse.

Thankfully, the air is good enough by 2:30 to play football outside.

These days, Arlo rushes home from school to play cards with Grandpa.

And he completed all 3 of these puzzles, too.

A tall 5 year and 4 month old boy. Almost 120!

Practicing his reading with Granny...

... and bedtime antics with Dad.

Lucy insisted on having breakfast with Bear.

Yet another indoor morning.

Thursday is here, but Lucy's having none of it.

Finally! An outdoor morning!

Someone else is a budding puzzle master as well.

Learning from the greatest.

Doing a detailed study of the Honda N-Box.

Similar?

And a Zepplin, from memory.

Good bye, and see you next week!
