I was just asking where all the nice weather had gone.

I thought this was hot season, no beach today then.

[Kan Win]

Yep…. Rained in Kan on Saturday Evening and Sunday late night also.

Nice to have a bit of rain so early in the year.

Yours truly,

Quite mild in the U.K today, bit of drizzle and about 10c. Still no takers to swap with me then?

From the dull suburban slopes of Fishponds to the working class drabness of Bedminster, the pretentious heights of Clifton with rich ladies parading their poodles to the exotic third world anarchy of St Pauls with its marijuana haze competing with stolen cars' fumes, from the muddy and freezing banks of the river Avon to the wilderness of Knowle West, there's just no comparison.

I'm sorry Daleyboy, I know Bristol too well and after living in Thailand, well it just seems too much of a toy town, everything running like clockwork; but oh so dull- no vendors, no tuks tuks, skylabs, motorcycle taxis and very few beautiful women.

On to the topic...... Rain in Issan

Winter clouds drizzle on the plains,

Droplets drip, dampen thirsty grass,

Cows wander, indifferent to the rains,

Their bells tinker, melodic sounds of brass.

Excellent post mate, but keep it quiet, i reckon i might still get a taker from somewhere.

Ahh tis a lovely day today in Bristol, very warm for the time of year, and i actually had to put my sunglasses on today when i went out

[Kan Win]

Just a quickie.

Should it not have rained in your area and wish to read about it, please go back to Page 1 of this "Fred" and start all over again, until it rains.

Yours truly,

Nice and sunny, almost too hot here in SG. No rain since 3 days...

[daleyboy]

Sunshine in Bristol today, could almost be Thailand, until you actually go outside and you realize its only about 3c

[bannork]

Based in Bristol, bored to tears,

Daleyboy posts,wishing he's here,

Sell up,sell,leave behind grey skies,

Somtam's better than Park Street's pies.

[Kerryd]

Whew ! Absolutely poured down here (in Pattaya) for a good hour. Monsoon style. There is a drain from the roof of the hotel across the street that just happens to be directly above where my motorcycle is parked.

Looked like someone had a fire hose aimed at the bike. Haven't tried starting it yet.

Is it just me, or is the rainy season starting early ?

[scotsman]

Its just a blip it will be back sunny and hot in no time but good for the garden.

[Khutan]

It stopped raining her in BKK after a short watering of the garden

[Uma~~]

Massive downpour last night in Samui. I feel sorry for all the tourists that were told it was the dry season.

Same thing in Pattaya, in the early afternoon. Most of the clan from my building had just left for a party on Jomtien beach when the downpour hit.

[daleyboy]

Well Bristol is bathed is gorgeous sunshine, probably cold but i am yet to wander outside to see.

[Glauka]

These were taken from 125 feet in the air on a cherry picker. They are pictures over Bristols new docklands development.

Mmmmm sunny at 1130

We were unfortunately caught out by the snow storm at 1445, and with the wind chill they reckon it was about -8 up in the basket

Desperate Daley, doleful, dire,

Enduring winter in England's shires,

Scenes of Siam, the siren waves,

But not till June for the Bristol brave!
