| Maiyuu's birthday present to me |
Maiyuu and I are doing well, after a bumpy few weeks in which I thought our relationship had run its course.
Now that we are on a good footing again, our communication has taken a leap forward.
He made charming strawberry cupcakes for my 46th birthday. We send each other tender text messages when we are away from home.
For the past few days, while I have been in Pin Khlao, Maiyuu has been cleaning our place with the aid of a hand-held steaming device.
We are trying to rid our condo of dust, after we developed allergy-related coughs in reaction to the large amount of air pollution in our part of town.

I still drink with takraw Ball, but haven’t seen slum Ball since he entered the military as an army conscript at the start of this month.
His mother called me last Sunday from his military camp in Bang Khen.
She had gone to visit him there, on the only day of the week when family are allowed to visit during the first three months while conscripts are being trained.
She took with her Ball’s girlfriend Jay, and their baby daughter.
Mum handed over the phone so I could talk to Ball.
'How are you coping?' I asked.
'I am getting used to the physical regimen now...we spend all day outdoors,’ he said.
He told me he had not lost as much weight as some conscripts, who come back a mere shadow of their former selves.
However, he said he looks much darker than normal, thanks to his constant exposure to the sun.
His mother asked if I wanted to accompany them on their next visit, which falls today.
I probably won’t go, as I do not fancy all that time spent travelling with Ball’s family.
I stopped visiting them weeks ago, after the mother asked me to help her pay a power bill.
