Another busy-bee day on Koh Samui, it's almost 8pm on Day Five of Hunger strike. I was *shock* up in time for early morning meditation, not the yoga I was expecting, but hey ho. It was fairly relaxing if you applied enough anti-mosquito, but others were slapping themselves silly. Was feeling a bit drained so yes...had the green drink again, and it's still so foul I have to hold my nose while I'm drinking it, but it definitely adds zip.
So - today I rented a scooter, and did some exploring. It was tentative today, because the scooter-hire-lady insisted on telling me about 100 000 times that nowhere on Koh Samui rents with insurance...so that I'm 100% uninsured, and then proceeded to go through a list of many scenarios where I would not be insured. In detail. Including a long-winded story about falling off when she was 14, and how she had to have a lot of gravel extracted from her elbow, complete with showing me the scar. HELLOOO? Did she not want my £5? Anyway - zipped into town (slowly), and was one of the maybe 1% of people wearing a helmet. I ran into Japanese-Canadian guy on my way home and he'd spent the day doing an entire lap of the island, looking at waterfalls and also going to a shooting range - where you can shoot AK47s! So. That's my Saturday sorted!
I had a most pleasant experience earlier, when noisy-neighbour got so frustrated with something (probably the fact that he couldn't turn his TV volume up any higher) that he did this outraged scream thing. It was like having the Incredible Hulk in the room next to me (you can come out from behind the sofa now, Decs). I found this oddly calming, and made me distinctly smirky. He is VERY annoying, and this is exacerbated by the fact that he looks...weaselly. And NIAGW.
Tomorrow night is a big one - muay thai fight night! It only starts at 9pm, so I see a leetle afternoon nap in my future. Saturday is deffo shooting range and island-exploring, and Sunday is ... day coming home. Sad and going to be relieved in equal measure.
No photos today, but tomorrow I am going to head down to the beach for a spot of sunnage, as maroon-5-ness has now faded back to white as usual. The beach is VERY beautiful, lots of powdery white sand going on, so I'm quite excited and will take the camera.
Massage-free day today. *shock*.

HULK SMASH!!
Ere lucky when you ran into the Canadian he didn't ask for your insurance details.
I hope you are still helmet happy when the lice start to bite.
Now, just finished making an amaretto cheesecake and thought of you...while spooning the 'extra' melted dark chocolate down my neck. Di-vine. Only thing missing is perhaps a cold crisp white...easily sorted.
Do you think the 30 sit ups I did earlier will make up for a kilo of ricotta + other hideous ingredients?
Apparently Dex is doing rather well on the olympic winter games as I write. The kids keep designing more Dex's so he seems to be everywhere!
