MY CATS ARE PUSSIES

I have found out what is wrong with my cats and why they are pussies  They do not like loud noises thunder is one and noisy mopeds they are very alert to dogs even though they are outside the fence and definitely not other cats that comes into the garden for all these things they run in to the house they also seems to lose all their cat fights.

Middle of the month was hot 37-40c now at the end it has gone down a bit but nights are still nice and cool, very little rain apart from one night about 2 hours and atleast 60mm that is as much as meter can hold. They noise was something else, tin roof even though it is insulated it was a roar.

 Muban (Thai: หมู่บ้าน) is the lowest administrative subdivision of Thailand. Usually translated as village and sometimes as hamlet, they are the subdivision of tambon. As of 2008, there are 74944 administrative villages in Thailand^[1]. As of the 1990 census, the average village consisted of 144 households or 746 persons.

They had a census on foreigners and we are three I have not seen the other two.

We have more house coming up and it not the village people but white collars that are moving in and bigger fancier houses, land is  quite a bit cheaper then in town even if it is only 6km away. Extra plus no traffic.

Only disadvantage is electrical cuts quite frequently but luckily I have a good UPS that is capable of thirty minutes with PC, TV, CABLEBOX and MODEM.

I have to get a stand for the water tank so I can raise it three meters up for gravity feed.

Mangos and corn are now plentiful and the neighbors give it to me, I am still a curiosity white foreigner.   

One big problem is finding shoes that fits my size 13 have been everywhere and still nothing.

MARCH   

Began with warmer weather plus a 61mm downpour, and the cats are afraid of thunder, pussies.

The ninth snake was on a visit but I wrangled like they do on TV took it in the tail sounds very brave but he thing was about 70 cm long but only a pencil thick I do not know what it was but to me the fiercest  thing was the tongue red orange .

Last week the 10^th snake made a visit as an uninvited guest in the house about 1 meter in length.

I guess we can call this spring days are warmer about 30-35c but the evening and morning are just around 20-23c until 9.00 o’clock.

Birds and butterflies are plentiful.

Cat 1 is really good at catching them up to a meters height between the paws looks quite spectacular.

Everything is growing rapidly in the garden most of all is the Honeysuckle (Kaprifol) above the gate have to trim it almost on a weekly basis .

The mosquitoes are coming and the odd thing is that they are worse between noon for the hours they are tiny ones you can hardly see them but itching more then the bigger ones, maybe it is gnats.

I have been to IKEA to have a look, but too much work with their stuff specially to pick the stuff up in the storage area.

I am getting lazy I guess.

Two fruits that I really like are Passion fruit because it is nice and sour and juicy and pulpy now the season is over, but one that is coming into season now is Mango tender and sweet, but here are so many other good fruits.
