  1. About 5 weeks ago a semi feral cat which has hung about our garden for a few years, produced a litter of kittens. After about 3 weeks they started to crawl into the open and I took to carefully checking my car every time I wanted to move. One morning I carefully checked under my car and inside the bonnet but could see nothing so I started up, opened the gate and then spotted that a small kitten had crawled out from somewhere. It was slightly hurt so I put it on a high step hoping that his mother would take him away. I came back 30 mins later and he was still there, but when I looked out 5 mins. after he had gone.

    My Granddaughter heard him 2 days later crying in distress in some undergrowth below some of our flowering shrubs, apparently abandoned and put him in a box, fed him goats milk ( which he devoured avidly) and left him on the step.

    The next day, he was still there crying with  hunger, she took him into the house and fed him again. That was a week ago and he is now thriving

    and having climbed out of his box without help is scampering around our kitchen floor. 

    Big question how do we wean him?

  2. My favourite pub has closed for "renovations". Can any local member recommend a friendly english speaking bar in the Hang Dong area where it is not noisy and I can have a beer, relax and a conversation. Sport on the television would be a bonus. Thank you all.

  3. I regularly see an unusual pair in the soi. They squawk like Mynahs, they strut like mynahs, they are the same size and shape as Mynahs, but they are less reluctant to fly as Mynahs.  They have black backs and wings, but white heads and bellies. I cannot get close enough  to photograph, nor can I find anything in my book nor on Google which resembles them closely enough. What might they be?

  4. I cannot speak for other countries

    . After retirement,  I worked temporarily for the Royal Mail in a mainly automated mail centre. Many companies used automated mail printing and addressing companies for routine mail. Almost all were sent out with UK 2nd class postage, and thus any to an overseas address were rejected by the machines and returned to sender. I very much doubt if they were ever resent with the correct postage. Banks, Pension management companies and UK government mail was almost universally underpriced.

  5. It appears to be a Tambol election, so she who must be obeyed has inflated it to a province wide prohibition.

    She has done this before when she wants me to stay at hame. It usually means that she has spent all her housekeeping for the month and will want to "borrow" my beer money.
