What can only be described as a ‘good day’. I did nothing. Seriously. Got up late to the sounds of children jumping in the river next to my $2 a night bungalow (complete with hammock). Had a few cups of coffee. Read. For the first time in a long time didn’t play any music, just…well, did nothing. Had what can only be described as a wonderful coconut milk curry. I walked home. Just as I was finding my way around the bungalow (Hammock? Sure. Electricity? If you want to pay the fuel surcharge for the generator) it started to rain. I love that. Sat myself down and read some more. A friend sms’d me telling me to ‘keep enjoying life’, which made me smile. I called Ollie who was reading a book at an outside Winchester Pub, so we lethargically exchanged. I put on ‘Kind of Blue’ and was laughing to myself as I was in a country that up until about 7 months ago, I couldn’t have pointed to on a map. Drank my Beer Lao and decided that, just for myself, I would take a quick 15 second video…as not to forget. I panned right, where the river moves to, to left, from where it comes and saw on the digital screen not one, but 2 rainbows. I damn near dropped the camera. I’ll post that vid when I can. A riverside bungalow with attached hammock, perfect weather, Miles proving there’s no such thing as a ‘wrong note’, friends around me and 2 rainbows. Ain’t gonna lie to you, I got a bit teary-eyed. This is what it’s about, these tiny minuscule unplanned moments that nicely remind you that your attempts at control over your own happiness are moot; but should you, just wait, listen, watch, feel and experience the things going on around you, sooner or later life will single you out for a little treat.
