Balls

Today we went with some friends to roll some balls. We didn't know what we were getting into. They made a concoction of sand, rice husks some goop and various other sludge, then we sat there for 4 hours (on the floor) rolling this into balls. Are we going mad, perhaps to much sun. No, apparently they leave these balls to dry for about a week then throw them into the stagnant water in Bangkok and they clear it. I do hope it works because I ache in places I didn't know I had (to old for this sort or work). As it was at Petchaburi University no beer, no gin nothing. But we did get lunch for 20 baht, about 40p. I don't know who shorty is in the second pic but I think his gloves are a little bit big.
