I’m a bit disappointed, the much mooted storm didn’t happen and the garden is still as dry as a bone, all we had was a 3 hour electricity outage because of the wind and the grass (what’s left of it) is a lovely shade of yellow. Thankfully, although it’s still blooming hot it has cooled down a bit, not long now and we can all start moaning about the incessant rain.

not long now and we can all start moaning about the incessant rain.

Hopefully soon.
At least it won't affect our outdoor activities at the moment.

Thailand's dams need it bad.

At least it won't affect our outdoor activities at the moment.

hmm, except for wearing those stupid masks, my outdoor activities have not changed, as for many here in Udon.

Don't go out much after dark, before and during the day, traffic seems to be about the same. Only thing different I can see, is that some of the places I might need to go to, are closed and the sick fact I can't find any place to buy Scotch.

As far as rain goes think this year is going to be on the dry side.
So it goes.

ACCU WEATHER ARE SAYING 80% CHANCE OF RAIN NOW THRU THIS EVENING ... still waiting but i have noticed the dark rain clouds are bubbling up over yonder !! wind getting up from the East according to my weather flags sited on the intersection of love ...
