Sunday the 13th saw me slightly under the weather. Luckily I had been free of the virus that the children suffered but I think that the stre of the usual work pretty much exhausted me.
The children we also only recently recovered and so we decided on a quiet afternoon in the leafy village of Chompoo, just a few kilos from the childrens home.
The village of Chompoo is known locally for being home to many very large catfish which many people feed each day.
At the centre of the village there are always a few small stalls on the bridge over the stream that the fish live in.
One of these stalls sells undecorated plaster of paris money boxes. With them you get a few small plastic bags of paints of various colours and use of some brushes. Many families go and relax whilst their children sit and paint the models.
And this is exactly what we did. The children chose their own and sat for sometime working on bringing the money boxes to life with colour. Myself and Boon joined in too. Its wonderful how the simplest things can be so relaxing.
