April 6th

I’m awake at 6am, again. I take this opportunity of being alone in the building to wash the dishes from last night, and leave them in the kitchen.

I use the last three small bananas with four slices of bread, and that thing which isn’t butter but has high aspirations to be such, to form banana sandwiches for breakfast. I finished the eggs yesterday.

I scooted along to the Thai Huot Market and scored.....Farmhouse Milk; Khmer Fresh Chilli; Maggi Bouillon Volaille (seasoning cubes); Vivien Paille Lenttilles Blondes; Unsweetened Yogurt; Blacl Mustard Seeds; Fresh Turmeric; Fresh Ginger; Fresh Shrimp, Baby Potatoes; Carrot (one large one); Dettol Hand Sanitiser; Kerrygold Pure Irish Salted Butter (yes, real butter); Gluten Free Pitta Bread; 3 x 1.5ml Water; 330 ml of Anchor Beer and 330ml of Cola Coffee. Total horrific cost $36.25

Dhal is duly made and eaten twice, lunch and dinner. 

My visa ends on the 16th April. Phany said that she would check with a Travel Agent friend about an extension, for I did not realise that Khmer New Year is next week
