Bangkok today: 36 degrees and mostly sunny

Signs that the HOT season has arrived......

1)The day is not complete until the girls have been in the kiddie pool at least once, usually twice.

2) Claire cannot resist the temptation of the ice cream truck playing his tune outside our gate. She loves to run out with her 20 baht and buy an orange push-up all by herself.

3)Tom picked two ripe mangos from our front yard the other day! (mango sticky rice is our favorite part of the hot season)

4) Our favorite room in the house is the air conditioned one- our bedroom. Claire and Eliza have moved in with their sleep mats.

5) We've stopped sitting on the furniture...too hot! The tile is better.

6) All the fans in the house are on full blast and we move slowly and drink lots of water.

8) Our trees need constant watering....currently we have 3 mangos, a jackfruit, 2 banana, and som o (a big orange).

9) 36 degrees is a common daytime temperature (96.8 F to you) and 27 degrees at night (80 F).

Enjoy your spring weather for us! :)
