On this day Monkey-B and I decided to explore our property a bit after noticing our favorite hand axe was missing, likely stolen when we were in Phnom Penh.
Monkey-B's Mock Woodstove 🔥
When I had finally given up on ever seeing my trusty hand axe again, I decided I should walk the property and see what other things might've been potentially stolen. Upon walking outside, I immediately noticed Monkey-B had built a mini play woodstove from some spare cans that the wind often deposits on our property.
It's amazing what this little girl can make from potential trash. She built her little play stove by simply looking at our woodstove and trying to copy the style. With a few small changes her can stove would be fully functional, not bad at all for a first try.
Time To Explore 🕵️
The reason for exploring wasn't a happy one, but I want to be 100% sure my hand axe was stolen before giving up on ever seeing it again. Well, at least I made our little walk fun and entertaining for Monkey-B, and she's excited to do just about anything as long as I hype it up properly first.
The hammock hut showed no signs of use, so I can kind of assume nobody camped here without permission while we were gone, and it's likely one of our neighbors is the thief as opposed to travelers passing through. Thievery is very common in Cambodia, so I expect a few items to be missing every time we leave the home for a few days, but I sure wish the Cambodian culture and religion would do more to discourage and admonish this kind of behavior.
Magic Potions & Hole Digging 🫙
After shedding invisible tears for the hand axe I will never see again, I realized I'll probably see it at the house of one of my neighbors later on this year. I decided to let Monkey-B cheer me up with some pleasant distractions that would make me forget I live among thieves. She loves more than anything to collect small containers and jars, then fill them with various magic potions she creates.
Another favorite pasttime of Monkey-B's is making holes with sticks, likely a game the children of cavemen played many thousands of years ago. A sharp stick makes the best hole, but decided what to put in said hole after completion can require some deep thought.
On this day the hole was left to be a hole, so perhaps it will give birth to a sprained ankle one day. At the moment I only have a handful of minutes each day to generate content for a post, so I apologize for trying to make the mundane interesting, but this is my life, not always exciting for potential readers, but for me it's a life I enjoy, just wish I had a little freetime each day to reflect, read, or just watch the river flow by.
