OCTOBER 2012



OCTOBER 2012

The climate is odd first the rainy period have stopped yet the very first day this month I got 82 in 3 hours the most for the whole year.
Secondly the weather have cooled down at night to 21-23c  but daytime is very hot more so then in the summer ,
No clouds and a very clear sky , at least in the summer you have rains and clouds. One thermometer could not take the heat and broke it was in the sun but could not take the heat.
On the animal side new species a rooster and his harem of one chicken
Comes in to the garden and start redecorating things, had to put up a wire mesh so I down get the whole place dug up.
The mother cat has sort of left the house and only comes for breakfast and dinner and then leaves. I think she is shacked up with the cows , a bit embarrassing being dumped like that. Still 4 cat that likes me and 2 that only uses me.
The fishpond is now cleaned and filtered it took a bit over a month clear.
If you see the normal tap water here you would understand ,it is muddy 30% of the time. I will have  my water well checked out to see how good the water is ,all I know is that it is very clear and a pleasant temperature ,use it for the garden when needed.
We have had boat races in the Mekong and Buddha holiday witch is quite noisy , worse in all the firecrackers that go off some of them sounds like loud explosions.
I have started eating breakfast not only coffee as before. Started with  oatmeal porridge and the have improve my stomach quite a bit, so healthy  
and very cheap and I even like it.
Still bicycling , now everyday since there are no more rains.
Getting up at 5.00 do my email read the news breakfast , biking, reading for about 5 hours a day, gardening and 4-5 hours tv in the evening.
So I am kept busy enough.
