Strawberries, almonds, yoghurt and raisins

My new favorite thing...The fantastic weather in Thailand these days (clear skies, 24 C) have brought the strawberry season...At 3-4 euros a kilo it's such a bargain...Mix'em up with some almods, plain yoghurt and few raisins to replace pure sugar..DELICIOUS!
This is one thing I love about Thailand. If you wanna eat healthy food, you can easily aford it..in fact, it's probably cheaper than the junk option.


Our little boy takes his time...At our last check-up he was 3,500 and as the doctor says quite a long baby...We went thourgh our family history to find out who's to 'blame' for such a basketball player. It's Ake's granddad, a 190 cm chinese man!!! Since neither myself or Ake are really tall, it would be funny to have our boy turned teen overtaking us in height...

Anyhow, doctors orders were clear: WE SORT OF NEED TO ENCOURAGE THIS KIDDO TO COME OUT...Spicy food is supposed to do that...so whenever it's not strawberries, it's curry!!! I've had buckets of curry since, but no dice! In fact, he seems to enjoy the combination of flavours...

Back soon....

Birth Story - Bangkok

So I knew that Thai policemen are trained in delivering babies, but never actually thought it often comes to that. Well, it happened to a friend of Ake's family.

The woman got stuck in traffic(and in Bangkok that may mean, your car is moving literally few metres an hour), the taxi driver panicked and grabbed the first policeman he saw. The guy was very reassuring and said with a huge smile:'No worries, Mam. This is my 8th delivery on the streets of Bangkok!" I'll spare you the details, but basically, within an hour the baby was out. And where in Bangkok? In the most crowded spot in the entire city, Victory Monument, where you basically have to fight your way through. Naturally, when it was all over, the ambulance arrived as well...

This one was great to hear as my little one is ready to pop any day now...
