Day One of my new Chez Moi Part Two
They did a lot today, considering they are using just hand tools.
Proper Building Site Now
Take a look ... site mapped out, 3,000 superblocks delivered, a further 45 lorry loads of soil dumped, gravel and cement delivered ... the photo shows SOME of all of that!

Anyone know the name of this flower? I have seen several of them over the last few days.
They are about 6 inches across.

What do you call a Frog Around here?
I think you might have guessed the answer to that question already. Around here a Frog might easily be called ... dinner!
Take a look at these specimens, though: eyes are gorgeous and their skin is smooth but LOOKS like sand ... camouflage.
You'll also see the Frogs before and after. You'll know what i mean when you see the photos :(

I go for a walk and the dogs go for a Marathon
I have been taking a walk every evening here and one or more of the three household dogs go with me.
I walk for about an hour and the dogs run all over the place: even just one dog on its own will cover 5-10 times the distance i do i think.
In one place today, one of the dogs picked up the scent of something. That sent the two bigger dogs off on a digging frenzy. The Terrier idled its life away at the time!!

The 30,000,000 Baht Folly
Someone has been building a very grand house near here. I believe it's not finished yet. So we went to have a look at the thing which, it turns out, is for sale.
I will not mention the nationality of the man who masterminded this folly but take a look at the flag in one of the photos below ... it contains a clue.

Rain ... it knows how to rain
It's a long time since i lived in the tropics. I last lived tropically in Malawi although i have travelled tropically a lot since rhen.
Two nigjts ago i was woken up by the loudest rain i have ever heard. It lashed it down.
At the moment it's happening again: a veritable downpour. A deluge. Torrential.
The electricity has gone with the storm too: i don't know for how long.
Mental note to self: don't forget to buy a generator for the rainy season.
