JUNE 2012

Excitement.

The cat did not get snipped , no balls said the Vet. Actually not big enough so I asked if a black eye and a couple of cat-fights might make him qualify for a trim, wait for a few more months was the answer.

A good month not to much rain but quite a bit of half day overcast which nice specially if it is in the afternoon.

Sun is one thing we have enough of.

The Excitement part was I was robbed, happened at 23.45

Had just sort of fallen asleep when a cat feed bowl tumbled over

I got up surprised the intruder who ran away to a waiting moped rider. I lost a Tablet ,Laptop and a Mobile phone .

My neighbor called the village chief he was here in 10 min.

After another 10 min. the cops came which is amazing since it is about 6km to nearest station.

They looked around and found two pairs of shoes so one must have taken of to the moped. The cops looked all over in the garden and cane back with a bag with everything apart from the mobile and my car keys. Next day some new cops came and asked questions and that is about it all, nobody caught .

I was told there have been quite a few of this type of break ins

Even the temple have robbed the monk told me.

I must admit they were good and so noiseless even some of the nick nacks  they took make noise when I touch it. I have to tell the shameful truth I had not locked the kitchen window it is a sliding window you have to press a lock which I had not done.

The good thing about the phone. talked to the company and the locked my number but I was still able to keep the number in the new phone, even more amazing all the numbers and addresses was also transferred , but not any data and I hardly had any.

The bad ting is my car keys, so I went to Ford and they have

Screwed it up so I am without a car for a week, remember I live in the bush.

FALSETTO

End of the month one of the pussies is going to be more so, and a falsetto.

It has started to rain a bit and thunder which sometimes is quite loud and even shakes the house a bit. The farmers are now beginning to empty their pond they are about 400-800 sq.m.

Even the small river is  being emptied, now before the Mekong river rises, there is a small dam lock , otherwise Mekong back flows. The worse thing with the rains are blackouts and loss of TV reception . At one time there was 6 blackouts in a day.   Now with the rain started so have the growing of everything it is amazing how much and fast it is.

Still reading a lot and I remembered to read two authors everybody must have read Mikey Spillane who is the only book you don not have to make doggy ears in because there is nothing to lose if you jump pages the more difficult one is Louis L'Amour

Because you get lost in the gulley’s and valleys and the gunfights because you get lost in directions. Both guys are fun to read sometimes in between serious books to clear your mind.

Two purchases have to be made one is a new tv , what to choose

Led, lcd or plasma and I read tests and get more confused. They give us too many choices.

I also would like to change my car tires they are low profile and that make them bumpier so I am trying to get a higher profile.

I have just received a fresh batch of different dessert cheeses. Brie Meaux for one with mango is something indescribable.
