Collecting up rice straw for mulching...

This was all burned a few minutes later!

And all the smoke is on its way to CR where it will stay in the air for weeks !

Na, this is down Songklha way.... it would never reach CR! cough cough!

How are the skies on Samui now. Jimmy?....

a bit like this....well add a bit more at the moment!!!! .... I just hung my washing out to dry.... that usually brings the rain showers.... Murphy's law!

Travelers to Samui should bring a brolly.... ..... there might be scattered showers

[pigeonjake]

[samuijimmy]

These piggies could only dream of such a 5 star sty!

thanks mate,,

yes we are getting things together here, but like i said many years ago it all takes time to get together, still things to do, the plot i just ploughed i dont know what ill put in,

as for the piglets, they are good mate they really are, we got 40 and all still alive, as you no when i first started i used yo loose the odd one, i suppose we still do, but not to many, we havent out this batch and the last 30 mac got was all ok,

i think we did loose 2 the time before them,

but like i say we get to pick witch ones we want, shes very good with us,

right sorry shaggy this isnt the pig thread,, i forgot,,,lol

Your Croc shoes are embarrasing enough so I won't even bother to check what a brolly is, to safe you from feeling embarresed for me.

We'll have to check farms near the ocean, Jimmy. -Shrimp, perhaps? Here's freshly caught baby sweetwater shrimp. They always come as a bonus with the fish caught in a pond clearing and eaten on spot. Add a few chili's, spring onions and fish sauce and eat them alive. Delicious.

CASSAVA

Just does not to have the same mystique about it as rice does , although I shall endeavour to capture a " Cassava field Sunset " one day .

well at least I don't leave my shoos floating around in the sea....

or prance around on hot rocks ..... looking like a right twit !

Oh turned to sunny skies, and not quite as hot today.... I managed to dry two wash loads on the line~! ....

My apologies DAL for not responding yesterday......I did try but kept losing connection for some reason.

A big thank you for those two landscape images,I have a good idea what your camera is capable of now.

Jake mate,awesome set of photos of your place,.....although there were rather duckless.

Hope you put the welding torch down long enough to enjoy some quality time with your family.

Jim......take care of DAL and try and get him into some proper footwear

Being mango season this is a very common sight around here.Not to sure what all the ingredients are but I know that the main ones are mango and sugar which are cooked up then put out like this to dry.

Will finish up as these popular snacks.
