The garden
In the morning I made some work in the garden, then I spent a rest for about an hour before
going out to have some shopping in town. It was my sister’s birthday and I wanted to do a special
eff ort to cook a nice meal for her. I gave a look at a new Thai cookery book in the bookshop and
decided to buy it. It has some totally easy recipes and I managed to do a good impression with
my very first Thai meal. I think my sister utterly enjoyed her birthday.
