School Sportsday(s)

Ban Ket School, our local school took part in the 3-day School Sportsday. There was football for the very young girls, hilarious because they all attampt to get the ball at the same time. So its like a swarm following the ball around the pitch. The parents are shouting, screaming, cheering, clapping and laughing.

Our school did very well (second) at "dat-grow", I don't know how to spell it. It is like keepy-uppy in England with a medium height net. The ball is made of plastic and is very light, it looks like it was probably made of bamboo historically. Two teams of three a side.

But the girls volleyball was the highlight, Ban Ket school came first. Our village (Ban Lum Puk)and Ban Ket took loads of people to support, more I think than any other village.

Bananas

The two large bunches of bananas started to turn yellow I cut them and strung them up in a three or four days they had all gone yellow. Lovely, slightly more custardy than the ones that one can buy in the UK. I think there are about 9 species or something grown in Thailand, we grow probably 5 different sorts but I am not sure about that, not being an expert banana spotter or taster.
