It’s cold in the morning, for a given value of cold. You get up and
potter around going ‘Argh where are my woolly socks!’ before you realise you
don’t have woolly socks, you moron, this is Thailand. So instead you forgo
thoughts of woollen socks and get ready, maybe having a hot shower; a cold
shower is out of the question, if you can help it. You put on a pair of long
trousers, consider them, step outside briefly and decide that yes, it’s defiantly
too cold for anything shorter, thank you. On goes a top or two, and a cardie or
that one jumper you (Your mother) had the foresight to pack (‘Why will I need a
jumper? It will be way too hot.’ ‘Always be prepared.’ ‘Fine, fine.’) You have
breakfast, and a cup of tea which you warm your hands around pathetically and
then suddenly its 7.00 and you’ve got to hop in the van, which is covered in
condensation. You’re pretty sure that’s a sign it’s gotten colder. Or that it
rained over night. Either way.
