Morgan and Max are both doing well. Spring isn't quite here yet; it's still a bit chilly, though only a few pockets of snow remain.

Second Supper or Elevenses? 

Same food at both houses… he might need to look at a third house for pampering

Well autumn is here (for a little while) so I hope someone is getting the benefits. Crisp mornings and cool days. Bit cloudy  

Things change at the end of the week with Thursday being 27 and Friday will be 30

Hi there Terry

Felling a bit claustrophobic with a cloudy day but apart from that I’m doing ok.

Democracy sausage is in May but now you mention it a trip to the butchers might be a good idea. There is a new one opened up and I wonder if I will be as lucky as Clo and find a sexy butcher there?

Hows life with you?

2 others neighbors leave kibbles at their door so he gets food there too  but it doesn't help to get him to eat the medical kibbles for kidney support... he is known and appreciated by the whole neighborhood

I wish you luck in pursuit of the sexy butcher and his sausage.  I'm doing well here.  It is getting a bit hotter heading into the summer rainy season.  Tomorrow begins the Thai New Year with the Songkran Festival.  It is one day for most of Thailand, but in the north, especially Chiang Mai, it is a three day holiday.  I have missed it for the last few years, because the government did not allow public participation in the usual events.  I'll send some pictures tomorrow to show what happens here during the celebration.  I'm glad to hear you are OK.

Hi Dugh! Sawasdee Khrup 🙏 How are you and Mum doing?  Hope your morning is good.

Hi Clo!  So Minion is up to his usual self and being spoilt by the neighbours.  I'm having problems with Orange.  She is horny and underfoot.  I'm afraid I will step on her, since she is constantly within 20 cm and meowing for attention.  Cats!!!

Here is the Thai Embassy explanation of Songkran, the official Thai New Years:

   Songkran is the traditional Thai New Year festival since the former time. It is a celebration that embraces goodwill, love, compassion. and thankfulness, using water as the means of expression.

     The word Songkran derives from Sanskrit meaning to move or step forward. The first day of Songkran takes place when the sun moves from Pisces into Aries, which marks the New Year's Day according to the Brahmin solar system.

     The festival of Songkran falls on the 13^th, 14^th, and 15^th of April every year. Thefirst day is known as Maha Songkran or thegrand Songkran. The Thai government has declared Songkran festival as extended public holidays to enable the people to return to their hometown for family reunions,
merit-making and reuniting with others in their community.

     The 13^th of April is also declared the Day of the Senior or Elderly by the government. The occasion marks the appreciation for the senior population for their years of contribution to the family and country.
