News story on telly couple of days ago about a luxury hotel in BKK serving coffee for 1000 baht a cup.

Pretty special coffee apparently. Comes from NW of Thailand. Elephants eat the green Arabica beans, which can't be digested, so are crapped out. Some lucky bugger has the job of sifting through the shit to collect the coffee beans, which are then processed .... and then this u-beaut coffee is offered to hi flyers in BKK that are happy to cough up 1000 baht a cup.

Anyway ..... Enough background info. Onto the story.

I casually remarked to my wife "Wonder who was the first guy to trawl through a pile of elephant turds and decide that these beans look good. Let's crush 'em up and have some coffee."

Maybe my comment lost something in the translation .... as my missus completely missed the satirical humour of my rambling, as without even a hint of a or smile, she gave me a serious short lecture on why Thai coffee is the best in the world.

Maybe it is my love.         

Anyway ..... my attempt at humour got shot down in flames real quick.

Check out Black Ivory Coffee. It's an interesting read.

There is another one like that, it's called Kopi Luwak.

Kopi luwak, or civet coffee, refers to the coffee that includes part-digested coffee cherries eaten and defecated by the Asian palm civet. Apparently the Most expensive Coffee in the world

I was standing outside admiring the amazing lightening show before the big storm arrived on Thursday night. Pretty speccy ...... anyway ....

With dedicated concern for my well-being, my wife called out "come inside babee ... many Thai people dead quick when lightening hit the gold (jewellery)."

I saw the funny side of her comment, as I was standing next to our 5m long aluminium sliding gate at the time. Apparently that was ok.

Anyway .... I'm happy to report that I did as instructed, and headed indoors, subsequently avoiding a terrible death by lightening strike on my wedding ring.

As per usual, she was right again.

I experienced a major magic moment today.  We were playing at a pool and the 4 year old brought me a cold beer.  Looks like she will continue to get spoiled.
