They arent hangin about laying the new road ..its the drain laying gang that appear to be arse draggers...

Rebar 2 vehicles 0 .. so far from what ive seen.

Its mizzling a bit now .. ( a Lincolnshire term) for light rain or drizzle ..

DM
It’s more a steady rain here.

If I’m being honest, I’m struggling to understand how the rebar is winning. I thought there was plenty of room, didn’t feel as though it was a tight space at all.

Our Yai's winter allotment across the street from the castle has burnt to a crisp in the April sun (as usual). The only pottering done there will be in December when we'll pay a couple of Burmese 500 baht/day to chop down the jungle that takes over during the rainy season.

Otherwise, inside my moat, there's no garden to potter around in as we have that classic Isaan feature of wall-to-wall cement in our yard. There are 5 mango trees (but doesn't everyone have those?) and a stubby, non-flowering stump of greenery next to the car port. That one yields leafy products that the neighbors frequently ask if they can harvest in small quantities so it must taste good. Oh wait... Does anyone have a picture of what kratom looks like in the wild?
Living the Isaan dream eh? You’ll just have to stick to your perving over the youngsters from the corner.

Replace mizzling with ..pissing down or belting it down (other Lincolnshire favourites) ..rain stopped play... appears ACCU weather getting it right up to now.

The rebar issue is on the out bound carriageway Nong Hin school side where the single lane narrows between the freshly laid concrete road and the grass island .. the surface is really uneven and when rains becomes flooded .. saying that the 2 cars ive seen loose to the rebar the road was dry .. driver error ?? maybe on phone lining what they had for lunch dunno.

Aah, different place to where I was then so can’t really pass comment.

Excellent weather for those that enjoy pottering about in the garden, which many posters seem to avoid at all costs, possibly due to their portliness. Oh well a little damp but cracking on weeding the plant pots, a very slow job hence in the sun avoid it unless it is a terrible need.

Yes noterd but still with Plant Pots you cam do amazing things, I actually counted mine over 130 to deal with from Mini trees to seedlings happily growing . It ois the birds with their droppings that drop seeds of all sorts and they grow, some very quickly.

^ My mum and her mum were avid pot planters. I recall where we would have 2 or 3 pot plants for granny stowed carefully in the Ford Anglia as we headed to Nairn for summer hols. The climate there made for brilliant flowers and healthy pot plants. The return trip always had maybe half-a-dozen headed for the cooler climes of our Buchan home. As my mum's eyesight sadly deteriorated, so did the amount of effort she could put into the bonnie, summer flowering front garden but I still have the photos.

Rain stopped and brightening up no end here ... amazing how quickly the rain puddles are drying.

The umpires inspected the intersection .. covers are off and play will resume after the interval for sticky rice n moo ping... the hunky roady team are grafters .. alas a splash of drizzle and the drain gang have done a runner ..they are

I havent been over the East side for quite some time Paul as i left my socks sandals and egg stained singlet at my Buriram abode .. i will get my Cholera , Typhoid and Tetanus boosters done and go for a drive around that way .. taking mi dogs as protection as ive heard its a bit dangerous there car jackings drive by shootings and even beer in tea mugs. .... nothing so murky on the West side where the power never goes off , police are not needed and the rose gardens are always in bloom.

Back in the real world .. high % chance of rain midnight to 5am ..

The ground around Chez Niggles looks a bit damper than when I went to bed but no other evidence of overnight rain. I’d even gone to the extent of trying to fix a leaky gutter joint & wanted to test it out but not enough water.

Yai is happily pottering about in the cooler temperatures. The ever present sombrero is still in the garage so the sun mustn’t be too strong

I just got a drenching.
Quite happily sitting on the sofa when Mrs Ns next urgent, pressing matter turned into washing the dogs bed immediately so I took it to the village machine on the bike & got caught out going home.
Think I’ll collect it in the car

Bright & dry here now. You wouldn’t even know there’d been such a downpour less than an hour ago.

Got the dogs bed & stayed dried for those interested

Good God man! Send Mrs N to go get it! Tell her you're watching a really good movie. I recommend 'Driving Miss Daisy"
