Hi,
This morning I didn’t bother reading the forecasts. There were big dark clouds all around, but they kept moving. Something was brewing. We had light rain all afternoon and into the evening.
The ‘Zany Day’ song was “Politician” by Cream. You should have known. Nobody got it, so here’s a real easy ‘Old School Friday’. “Never know how much I love you. Never know how much I care. When you put your arms around me, I get a __ that’s so hard to bear. You give me __, when you kiss me, __ when you hold me tight. __, in the mornin’, __ all through the night.” Clue: Quite sick, with a high temp.
The yard crew was scheduled to come today and we wondered if they’d be able to work. When we returned from Makro they were all over the yard, weeding, trimming and preparing to cut the grass. During the season when it rains a lot, things grow so fast that we need them to come more often. The first rain came not long after their lunch break and they had to stop. As soon as it let up, they started working again. When sprinkles came they kept working. They had a whole range of weather to deal with, from blazing hot sun to rain. What a day.
We are now in what can best be described as ‘Leechy Season’. Leechy are a smallish round fruit in various shades of red. Inside there is a translucent, spongy meat with a seed in the center. When they ripen, they seem to do it big time. All over town there are tables of the fruit for sale. At the big yard where we go for the Farmer’s Market on Fridays, they dedicated the whole place, plus part of the road solely for the sale of leechy along with tons of pineapple. We went over after dinner and bought a bag of both fruits. I’m not a big fan, but Blue, Cat and Natcha will take care of the leechy in no time.
All of our reservations and bookings have been made for the ‘Summer Visit’ to the states. We will leave Thailand on June 24 and leave L.A. on July 7.
Today’s photo begs the question: Do you think it will rain? (555) It was taken at 8:30am this morning.
We will have an uneventful weekend so far, except for the Formula One race from Monte Carlo.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. Time for the ‘Funnies’.
Peace,
Danny
