I took the dog food to our elderly neighbour tonight and she came out with a bottle of Leo. I know enough about Thai culture not to refuse.
This has been happening a lot lately - usually it's a couple of glasses of Ya Dong, but a Leo was a welcome change.
We sit for ten minutes while she rattles on in some dialect while I nod and look thoughtful. Tonight she brought out a photo of when she was a young woman. I became strangely .... well, if she was 50 years younger....
