Fancy a splash?

The Big Chili continues to behave like an oven. As I type this, I am chatting on the phone with a friend who is speeding on an Arabian expressway. She reports it's pouring around Abu Dhabi. I tell her I'm going island-hopping. In my dream, that is. For now I am grateful for faves of the week::

Life-saving AC. Since walking around in rising temps this invention has become my best friend. And as for the board room thingy with an amusing laptop reflection that's bluer than the blue above it, that's where I was officially informed about 

Remuneration. I thought it went with the normal salary but it seems the university is happy to pay researchers extra.


Imagination. It does help when there is something to look forward to.


Tax sorted. A colleague fixed a little problem in it for me. Until next year Mr Tax. For now I'm celebrating with some
 
Cold Stone delight. A yummy antidote to the notorious Bangkok heat.


I may still fancy a splash. It's seriously hot in here. When things at work calm down, it's going to be a cool splash. Here's wishing us all a great week.

  6. It's morning here but hey, I can eat ice cream any time of day rofl. I am a sucker for water and sky meeting up at the horizon interrupted by rock and/or people. Nice images.

  7. Sounds like a very rewarding week! We got our taxes straightened out this week, too, with my dad's help.

    ColdStone is always fun. :) What's the purplish flavor on the right side?

  10. I would have a hard time surviving without AC in the summer here. The heat just seems to drain all my energy.

    How neat that you got extra pay for the research you did!

    My husband just got our taxes done a couple of weeks ago, with good results. Glad that's over for another year.

    That dessert looks yummy!

    Thanks for sharing this blue laptop and scenery. I do love AC too, and could not live without it. As for taking a splash with you: I'll sit on the sidelines and smile.
