[Dandy]

How did Songkan festival go this year..normaly I'm there but this year I had to work...so did the death toll go down this year or up? Anything you guys witnessed of interest that could tell me about the festival would be great.

I had a great songkran.

Got up at 4pm, checked email, lied to everyone by saying "i'm coming now" that called me saying "come to walking st".

went out in the truck to attempt friendship (closed) looked at all the idiots monkeying around (why do people stand in the middle of the road dancing when there's a 2 ton truck going for them?) , Got completley pissed off with all of it and went home. Peaceful and happy now.

I havent ventured out of my door today shame the rain started so late, it would have been great if it started at lunchtime and lasted all day

That's what I thought you guys do the same as I did when Songkran started get plenty of beer in and snacks and it can be a great time.

What about the road accidents this year any better than last year?

I got stuck in traffic, unfortunately I had to work today. It took me 2 hours to do a 10 minute journey from my home to my office. Oh well, its over now.

I read in the Bangkok Post last week that traffic casualties were way down in the rest of Thailand. But then again so were the number of people celebrating.

Spent the morning with the apology for a handyman that Khun Porn sent round to fix the water (that's Friday / came to repair his work Saturday / came to repair his re-work Sunday / came to repair that yesterday / had to come over this morning as there was no water at all!!).

My wife and daughter went out about ten in the morning - called in about mid-afternoon - came back home at about seven.

But the big guy upstairs must have enjoyed watching the fun and wanted to join in - thunder, lightning and a real downpour about five o'clock showed that someone can do it better!
