May 5, 200817 yr When I woke up this morning I was full of plans and hoping the rain will stop, but it does not look like. Wife and dogs where sleeping very deep, actually they looked like paralysed by the rain and cold temperatures. So I went to Tops for some cookng ingredients: Just cooking fried beef burgers, roasted potatoes and cauliflower in a creamy cheese sauce. What are youb doing these days? In case the rain stops today I will go for a motorbike test drive. Gerd
May 5, 200817 yr time to go for a massage gerd. that was one of my favourite things to do on a wet miserable day.
May 5, 200817 yr I finally got around to doing my ironing - such a wet day that I had no excuse - feel better now that it's done - no doubt the washing pile will grow but at least I can say it's too wet to wash. Time to dig out the good books I have been saving. I wonder if it's going to be too wet to go to Thalang to yet another pre-cremation send-off. Has anyone else noticed how it appears more Thai people die in low season than in high season ? What sort of M'bike are you going to test Gerd ?
May 5, 200817 yr the ironing is a good one i guess, as its one of the only ways you can get your clothes fully dry in the wet season! books are good too. especially when tucked up with a hot chocolate. watch those DVD's you have been putting off for so long. go to a movie. i like gold class myself. a small indulgence.

May 5, 200817 yr First "monsoon" experienced in Phuket (is this monsoon?) - what is it with all these bugs, please??? Eating out - tons of bugs, eating in - tons of bugs. Was here last year for 2 weeks in June, some rain and didn't see these bugs. Is this a May thing? I don't like 'em.

May 5, 200817 yr are they the horrid winged ones that flap around the lights and drop their wings everywhere? they will only be there for a day or two. its a lunar thing i think. they come and go. the thais (in isaan i think) put a bucket of water below the light so that when they fall in they can be collected and fried up. mmmmm...yummy.
May 5, 200817 yr N.B."Tops" opens earlier than the rest of Central N.B nota bene I didn't realise that my Latin was so funny.

Yeh, they're the guys - they're HORRIBLE. Keep finding wings around my kitchen - yuck. Thanks for the explanation Donna and really hope they're gonna be gone in a couple of days. Don't know about frying them up though. But like the sound of Gerd's burgers, potatoes and cauli - can we come over?

They tend to go everywhere, lose their wings then start eating. Turn off all lights and close all doors/windows during this time.
May 5, 200817 yr GerdWhat rainy days??? move to Nai Harn, its not raining here Arrrgh! I remember chatting with some Cockney expat in one of the Rawai beach bars a few moths ago telling me how Rawai bEach an Nai Harn hardly see the rain. At the time , I thought it was just pub chatter and humooure dhim. Is this really true? Or be it Island legend? Actually considering a move to Nai Harn soon (found a decent 2BR house to rent)
May 5, 200817 yr HI Well, it did rain ALL day, but @ 17:51 (thats when i posted it) it did not rain, think it started again 17:59
May 6, 200817 yr Those termites really freaked me out first time I saw 'em. It was like the End of Days or something.
May 6, 200817 yr Those termites really freaked me out first time I saw 'em. It was like the End of Days or something. Nai Harn Rawai area sure seems to get less rain when it's the localized type. Yesterday's rain must have been from that typhoon that hit Burma. There have been many times when driving from the circle and heading into Rawai suddenly it's dry. From my house I can look towards Chalong and Phuket Town and can see rain there, but have sun in Rawai.
