I cashed some T-cheques and while I was waiting for Vera I stopped off at shop and bought some more clothes :-) I was really drawn to pink today so bought a cute little pink skirt with tie-dye trim and a pinky top to go with it. Very sweet indeed.
I met Vera and we had some breakfast. We had a little walk hoping to get our nails done at this place that Angie recommended. However it was closed on Sundays! So we walked back and got ourselves a foot massage (much needed after the night before). On the way we were talking about using umbrellas for sun shade and a few second later I felt drawn to a little shop which just happened to have little purple/pink umbrellas (nice syncronisity) so I got one and was a complete barbie girl :-)
Our massages were amazing, one of the best I've had here so far
Garden Variety Emma
. We both got a bit tripped out by it so were a bit floaty when we met up with my friends from Bristol (Clair and Kat) We had a nice lunch and chat and then Vera and I headed off to Wat Pra Singh for some much needed meditation. It was a very nice one today and I had a lovely lady come up to me and show me a way of sitting (½ lotus with hands resting together and thumbs touching) which was such a lovely thing.
Even more floaty by this time we went to Vera's secret garden which is a little oasis tea place with great cake (I won't say the name as we don't want the farangs finding this place :-)) It was a lovely place to chill, but we did get a bit nibbled by the insect life. Price of being near water and plants. Anyway the cake was fab and I had a lovely Java Plum shake.
Vera headed off then and I walked back through the sunday market. I bought some scarfs, which I've been meaning to do since I got here. I got a purple one, a pink one, a blue one and a browny one. (all for 2 pounds) Should cover just about every outfit I own :-) The market got busy really quickly and it wasn't much fun as my feet were really starting to hurt and I was tired and hot by this point.
I got back to Nat's and am now going to grab something light to eat (maybe just a smoothie) and then bed. School tomorrow :-)
