    Good morning, it's 6:21. I came down to office, turned on my computer, opened windows to let morning fresh air in, birds singing, the sky on the east looked pink! Look like we going to have another good day.
     
    We have been quite busy since last week, mainly on maintaining our garden and surrounding, we have cleaned our Water Garden, it took 3 days. Really that was a lot quicker than last time which took about a week, here are some pictures ....

    Put deep water - water lillies in for experiment, they love sunshine, but this area has little bit sun in the afternoon, so will see if this going to work, but as far as we can see, they looked quite happy.

    Star It's 22:40, not to long to go before Monday (again!)
     
    Today is a very hot day, not too bad during the night time like this, but this afternoon, the temperature came up to about 36C. Our gardens need a lot of water, and we, of course, need a lot of sunblock!! Hot
     
    Today we have guests from Malaysia, they staying with us to 3 nights. Again, very lovely family.
     
    In the evening, after cooking dinner for Peppe, Moon and I drove to Central Airport Plaza to see movie : The Spiderwick Chronicles. Unfortunately, we missed the 17:10 round, so we decided to have Japanese dinner instead, then came back home because Moon have to look after Keith at night, I am also going to keep them companies!
     
    Our guests just came back from Sunnday market, they said they have had a good time. We like Sunday Market too, there are so many to see, to eat, and to enjoy. Usually when we go there, we will walk around for about an hour, then have a lovely foot massage for half an hour.
     
    Yesterday, we moved 2 big ferns from our house to the spa areas, they looked quite good there. I climbed up the trees to cut some dead branches, also to remove parts of a fire balloon, which have been stuck on the tree.
     
     
    The trees by swimming pool are begining to have flower, purple one, very excited, I will take some photos of them when they ready which should be about 2 weeks.
     
    If we have time tommorrow, we will go to Kham Teang market (garden centre) to buy some more water lilly and check price for Cannas flower, we need quite a lot, so if we lucky we can get them at 45-50 baht each.
     
    Just be informed that our hotel was advertised in Amazing Thailand by TAT website, which I will show to Grandpa tomorrow, we need to send them some wordings and pictures.
     
    Grandpa enjoying his writing, Keith is recovering, Peppe have appointment for health-check tomorrow, the girls are happy.
     
    Have a goodnight / good day.
     
    Bye - Jan.

    Good morning. It is another good day. Sun
     
    I started my morning with backwashed the swimmingpool filter, watered all the flower around the pool, borrowed Tuung's sprinkles for our new plant area. Moon & I grew some ferns by the wall near swimming pool, hopefully they will look stronger next month by the time all yellow and white-purple flower bust out from the trees in the same area. 
     
    The guests are checking out today, the Manstrip family from Denmark, very lovely family. They're leaving for Phuket and Krabi, hope they have a good time.
     
    Checked emails, have booking from our old guests, coming next month. Looking forward to meeting them.
     
    Two websites have asked for link exchanged, ....done.
     
    Peppe went out to collect Keith and Moon from the hospital.
     
    Tuum, Tuun & Beam are just leaving for Bangkok, Tuun have to go back to work. They will come back in a week time.
     
    Tuung and Sri (the garden man) are digging small channels for us to grow Cannas Flower instead of the old bougainvillaea.
     
    Lala, Tuuk and Pond are cleaning the room, they are going to help the boys after finish with the rooms.
     
    Grandpa is starting his new book!!! William's women. Quite romantic one. So I'm off to find him some information about Lilly Langtree (?) and type some pages that he have written. See you - have a nice day -Jan.

    Hello

    Hello, and welcome to Golden Cupids Hotel's blog. The reason we added this blog to our website is because today I went to the seminar about e-marketing for tourism launded by Tourism Authority of Thailand, Tourism Technology Association, Kasikorn Bank, Globlet, and Chiyo Web Hosting. I have learned a lot from this seminar, thank you all experts who have been so helpful. So what I'm doing now is just a start! Well, I do hope this will help adding more traffic into our website. Also, I can update you on what we are doing, quite fun, isn't it? See you.... bye. Jan.
