That is the sound that wakes me up in the mornings.
I shall go downstairs and make meself a cup of tea and a bowl of cornflakes and take it to me table on the balcony. With the sea breeze blowing though me hair.... ( I wish ) With the sea breeze passing over the fat, bald guys head, I think about the day ahead.
I will go and sit on the beach for the later part of the morning, do the crossword and, more often than not, have an hours kip on me lounger.
As it hits 1 am I'll retreat to me local and have a few bottles and people watch, along with some sun dried beef for snack and a good read of a book.
Catch the baht bus back to me house and take dog for a walk along the beach ( take her for a walk means let her off leash while I sit down and have a bottle ). Once she's run herself into the ground we head off back.
Evening hits and the missus is busy putting on her 'evening face' whilst I'm continuing my read of me good book. ( After many years I know my wife can have this done in no more than 35 minutes, which has more than halved over the years, any longer and I'll be on me high horse )
Off we toddle to one of the MANY restaurants we always enjoy, sometimes european, sometimes Thai, either way we always seem to have a nice evening with good food and surroundings.
Back home late evening for a bit of marital activity later on.
This is my routine, as simple as it may be I could never dream of this sort of luxery back home in old Blighty.
Would be nice to hear of other happy guys and girls out there and your usual day that makes ya happy.
