MARCH 2013



MARCH  2013

The month started with a heavy 24 hour rain and a 9 hour power cut.Tree branches that fell on the power lines , during heavy rains something always happens.
There was a smaller rain also this month otherwise it is all about temperature up to 40c some days but luckily we have the whole month hazy ( like smog) I don`t know if that makes it worse temp wise . Evening have and nights have been OK , but even there the temp is going up.
The Honeysuckle is already in for it`s third cutting otherwise  the car get scratched.
The garden is growing and nothing really to tell about the cats.
The Is a big dam project going on , they have widen and cleaned up our little river , and there is a holding area plus a 3 gate dam , for the village it is big.
Nong Khai land price is going up so people are coming out this way and you can see that it is town folk because what the build is bigger and fancier then village stuff.

FEBRUARY 2013





TRAGEDY IN PARADISE

The cat called small died of some internal disease this was the third bout with the vet  first she had some plastic line curl around the body and became ingrown then still born kittens that had to be taken out by cesarean procedure and then this last thing so that was 3 cat lives.
The really scary thing was before a call from the vet where she had been except for one night when he said it was OK to take her home. The next morning back to the vet. Next day none of the other cats would eat or play around only laying around ,
Then a call that she had died. It was like she told the other cats that she would not make it so they knew before me. It took about 14 days for them to get up to normal speed  eating and playing around.
It looks like summer is on the way night time temperatures are going up I guess a few more days then A/C at sleeping time.
I had a weird car accident the only thing that happened was that my side mirror ripped off so it must have been very close , the other car was swerving for a moped with a small trailer. So it could have gone quite worse .
The Honeysuckle bush have already gotten a first trim for the year it speed grows 6 trims is the usual for the year , it is mainly on a trellis over the gate and might scratch the car and the antenna goes boing…..  
Quite a few house are going up in the village ,prices on land here are a bit lower then the metropolis of Nong Khai and one very big thing that they say has to do with a water dam foundation in at least 7 meters down more as I know of it.
I bough a IKEA 5 wheel coffee table took 4,5 hours to puzzle together good therapeutic work easy but you still have to be observant  it easy to make small silly mistakes.
I am eating my horse meat infested IKEA meatballs. In Sweden a long time ago it was difficult to find horse meat at the market most of it went to the restaurant.
I though it taste very good and tender a bit fibrous though.
