She who must be obeyed has her grandmother staying for a few days. She is not the most active of ladies. She appears from her bedroom, prepares her food (on the floor, not at all impressed with farang-style kitchens), eats large quantities and then retires to either sleep or yell down the phone at her friends. Her lifestyle could be described as “mainly inert”.
So it was quite a shock yesterday when she accompanied the SUP to the beach, and then declared she wanted to have a go. And away she went, paddling like a veteran.
Turns out she was born on a river and, although she has never owned a car, she has owned a variety of boats; so sitting on a plank and paddling it was no big challenge. In fact she enjoyed it so much that it was dark before we could coax her out of the water.
I wonder if I can get her windsurfing before she goes…..
