[...] I’ve been promising to write this post for a while now so it’s nice to finally get around to it. I touched upon this topic previously with a blog post for Women Learning Thai (see here). [...]

Martyn, Wow. Your project is almost done, and I’m still going through the motions. And I’ve still yet to track down an electrician for the spa bathtub with wild karaoke lighting as well. For painting, one quote was 500 baht per square metre, so I may be at this awhile… I’m going to need some meditation just to calm down.

Catherine good luck.

Just to update you, the buttermilk and chocolate living room (now finished bar a bit of touching up)looked quite nice and the magnolia hallways looked like magnolia hallways. The peppermint bathroom looked refreshing. The extra can of buttermilk paint is going to be splashed over one of the bedrooms. I nearly bought mustard but settled for my original choice. I’m now looking at laminated flooring but only the cheaper priced ones.

Paul, considering that you’d have to tie the university gals down for the duration, then yes, it would be illegal ;-)

Apparently the Buddha once claimed that if you could stay in the moment like that for seven full days you would be enlightened. I think though it is probably illegal to stare at university girls for that length of time – still, you would have a good excuse.

Hi Hugh, yes indeed, you are a multi-many tasker :-) Presently, I’m not giving 100% when I’m multi-tasking. While I’m doing one task, I’m planning on what I’ll be doing on another and yet another as well. This has not worked with learning Thai, so you can better bet you’ll be getting emails from me asking for advice! There won’t be an equal trade of info though, as I’m clueless about little white balls. The last time I was on a golf course I spent the morning standing back to let others through.

Hi Martyn, I’m trying to imagine how buttermilk and chocolate brown would look. Fairly good, I imagine. Partly because I’ve chosen similar just recently (but not a rich brown, just softly softly chocolate milk). I’ve been deep into a condo sprucing up myself. But after a week I’m still interviewing, getting quotes from workmen, and trying to juggle times to see each one. All I need is a bit of woodwork, painting, and the electrics done. This should have been over by now but all I’ve had so far is a screwed up schedule resulting in a pounding headache.

As for learning how to use mindful meditation, I have confidence that us old dogs really can learn new tricks. I’m going to give it a good go anyway. And I’ve spent the past few days doing my homework to do just that. Wish me luck!
