Next Door

Khun Pranee's coffee stall at the next landing on a weekday morning: the usual coffee; the usual, Khun Pranee; the sawdust reached the washing, it's fine; sorry, I'll turn the saw; I'm not saying anything; the machine is a bit loud in the afternoon; the sander, I can sand in the morning; the boats at the landing, that's fine too; I'll tie them at my landing; I only mentioned it, sugar: the little hedges a Thai neighbour wraps a complaint in.
