I don't think many son in laws could honestly write that they're sorry to see their mother in laws leave their flat. After living on our sofa since Bamboo's birth, Grandma Laos left on Sunday morning not before making one last Laotian in Thailand style shopping dash around Big C. She has left me with an abundance of practical baby caring skills and a girlfriend in excellent shape mentally and physically. She (herself) left with quite a lot of shopping bags and some fantastic prints of Dylan Bamboo that I took over the weekend and am yet to release online.

Expect some post people back home these most recent prints are fantastic.

Grandma misses Bamboo and the feeling is reciprocated especially yesterday afternoon when we had a little accident with a loose turd, I'll spare you the details, it wasn't pretty but fortunately for him short-lived. Yesterday after she'd gone the ante-upped. I seemed to spend all day going backwards and forwards here, there and everywhere, but mostly in the bathroom washing, scrubbing, rinsing and pegging out. Then with Bamboo, turd watching, wee catching, wiping, more wiping, burp inducing, entertaining, cuddling, cloth changing, suit changing. Then out shopping for this pak and that pak (pak means vegetable). I love how nature gives the father the bottom end.

Even managed to get out for a game of football with some lads who live in our apartment, however that didn't get very far: an officious park security guard wouldn't let us play for the most bizarre reasons. In Thailand you can rip your motorbike down a busy footpath at the speed of sound out of your mind on Sangsom but you can't play football in an enclosed area, in central Bangkok, under an overpass with nobody about in case a tree is damaged and the authorities take it out of the security guards wages!?! In any event it's refreshing to see the locals get active about green issues for a change. I'll just have to stay an unfit Dad for now.

Today is Dtock's first day on her own with Bamboo, so we hope all goes well, I've got a private class later in the afternoon so I won't be home for poo duty till later in the evening. Keep her in your thoughts.
