Bangkok Week 922

February 26, 2026

Lucy wraps up her mid-term break, and returns to school - but not before an ice skating reunion with Emily. Otherwise, this is the week of the caterpiillars! Our buddy Flash is all grown up (and we caught him molting)… and we found four GIANT, CUTE, CHUBBY oleander hawk moth caterpillars.

3 years and 11 months today. Next stop: 4!

Enjoying the last day of her break at the peacock cafe with P'Noi.

Arlo's publishing tiny books for the tiniest readers now.

It's the return of the cactus flower.

Saturday afternoon ice cream treat.

Matching bed head.

Lucy's getting really good at making omelettes now.

Arlo and Dad went to Dasa...

... while Mum & Lucy went skating with Emily & her mum.

Lucy's able to go the short length of the rink without the penguin now.

Two girls and a penguin.

Working on Thai homework upstairs...

... while the girls entertain with several flashy Disney performances.

Operation: book week is now underway.

Finally remembering to deposit all the bottle caps.

QR code made of leaves.

Happy to be back at school!

Catching Flash mid-molt.

But wait, there's more! Look at this chubby oleander hawk moth!

Flash, for scale.

This chubber made quite the splash at school. (And then he came home again.)

(Home safe and sound.)

Can you find all 3 in this photo?

Feeding flash our defective but beautiful heart-shaped pomelo leaves.

Last chubber standing. (And no, I'm not talking about Lucy.)

They ate up all the leaves on this poor tree, so it's onto the flowers.

Prepping the shirts.

Whoops! Mum forgot Lucy's bike helmet, so we had to go borrow one from Amalia.

Impromptu after-school playdate with Pree.

Bidding dad farewell in his van; a real point of entertainment.

Lucy got to drop off Arlo and visit his library before school.

Checking on Flash.

See you next week!
