Learning Thai

In other weekend news....

Claire caught a very fancy centipede (at least we think that's what it is) outside our house of which she was extrememly proud. She put him in a jar, picked him a nice assortment of greens and has been admiring him from a safe distance (he makes a little rattling sound that makes her nervous). She asked me to look up on the computer and find out what centipedes eat ("minibeasts" like slugs and worms evidently).

Also, we are trying to return some of the food favors that have been bestowed upon us recently by our incredibly generous neighbors (everything from custard to oyster omlette) and took our neighbors across the street some spaghetti and meatballs and biscuits. Well, of course they can't return an empty dish, so we were gifted with a bowl of chicken feet! Check them out!

And one more random animal note... for some inexplicable reason, there was a squirrel in church this morning. I happened to glance at the girl in the pew across the aisle from me and thought, "wow, that is an extremely life-like squirrel purse she's got there", and then it moved and I saw that an actual squirrel was crawling all over this girl! She had him on a little chain going into her pocket. Of course the girls were totally fascinated and got to check him out a little more closely after the service.
