It's the elections in Thailand tomorrow. I should just about have time to buy a beer from the local shop before 6pm. Officially no alcohol is allowed to be sold from 6pm today until midnight tomorrow. The election seems pointless as the main opposition parties are not taking part. Thaksin will win again. Politics plays no part in my daily life. I try to ignore it. Same when I was living in the UK, though I did vote a couple of times.

All we hope is that there is no trouble. Parents arrive from England on the 7th.
