I was supposed to move into an adobe house or baan din (literally, try house of dirt) when I came back to UHDP in July.  Unfortunately, the house wasn’t completed at the time.  And then, here the decision was made to turn the baan din into a guesthouse, rather than have people living in it all the time because there was no adequate mosquito-proofing.  I was really disappointed as I was looking forward to planning a kitchen garden outside it, and designing an outdoor kitchen too.  As it stands, I’ve moved into a new room in the house I had been living in previously – it’s brand-spanking new and has a huge space I’m going to convert into a common room for people to hang out in.
