Life in the Isaan Boonies.
Wandering around in the local Big C. Was it true love at first sight? I moved in quickly to get this bird; it worked; speed obviously the key. Home we went, but no one there, more tine to indulge I thought. Now where to take this luscious thing the garden, shed; just where?. The kitchen seemed the only place to admire this work of nature. I looked down upon this nakedness and a smile came to my face. I gently parted the lovely legs. All looked dank and murky What tool to use? I grabbed a spoon and stuffed the Christmas turkey. ''I is home.'' I heard her shout. The wife's arrived; she's coming quick. ''What you doing in the kitchen farang? You make big mess; get out.'' Ir's Christmas day. Hooray, hooray. Been busy all the time recently. Me and Kun doing the work, although I must say Mrs Snaps is full of plans. As long as I play along and pay. ''I ordered 150 sack of chicken poopoo farang teerak. Be here this year.'' ''That's OK dear. I'll put them by the water tank.'' But that was for later. Right now we are preparing for the solar panels. Took about 4 inches of soil away to make room for the dry-mix. Put the small rings in as a guide. Dropped the rings in about 15cm. Put a dry-mix all over the base and stone in the rings. And it was time to knock up some very wet concrete. Kun was careful not to move the rings. Base concrete finished. In with the posts. Making sue they were plumb and in line. Mrs snaps showed up next day to admire our work. ''I want to test posts.'' I passed her the level. ''This one no good, Have bubbles all over.'' ''Not to worry dear. We have checked it. It's OK.'' Drilled the main bearers at home and took them to the farm. Perfect! The secondary steels had to be measured, cut and have brackets fitted. All lined up nicely. Ready for the solar panels. Which arrived next day. Ordered three 550 watt panels. The driver had a fair few to deliver. Robert looking after security while we took the panels in. Hope they are scratch-proof. I had already sorted out the PVC pipes. Cut 7/8 inches off the female end and glued on a male and female threaded unit at opposite ends. Hope to mount the panels very shortly. The house two doors away is finished it seems. Just a little clearing up and landscaping to do. The wife's new cart has two ways of getting around the farm. Towing behind the m/c. Or! The Mazza to the rescue. ''Ever thought of pushing it around teerak?'' ''What you say farang?'' ''Nothing dear.'' Went to the land office in Ban Dung last week. Had to sign over the land papers to the new owners. The sale of the farm was brought on by big debts. Brought tears to me eyes to see it go, especially after thousands of hours of work going into it. While they were inside I walked round to the lovely garden. They have a permanent gardener. Very nice place to cry. Little water fountain and an outstanding tree. Ducks doing just fine. I give them clean water every day and their food is mixed. They get watermelon, chicken and whatever else is in the kitchen every day. Some rice and finely chopped cucumber if it's there; which it normally is. Ponds 6 and 7. They are OK considering no rain for 85 days. A farm near us it keeping naughty birds away by flying 'hawk-kites'. They are quite a way up. Saw 4 over this field. One had been shot down. Probably the Nth Koreans! Mrs snaps after the luscious chompoos. The better ones always seem to be just out of reach. Careful. Don't fall dear. Who will make me cup of Rosy? +++++ Pool certainly put the Spurs to the sword. Owls steaming up the table. I don't like this mixing up of men's and women's footy one bit. On the BBC www, there is a women's section, but still have the ladies results in with the guys. Big rubbish if you ask me. Luke Littler averaged over 140 in his PDC world finals match. Michael Smith gone. Starts up again soon on the 27th, at the Alley Pally, in Nth London. I say Luke Humphries to lift the trophy again (won last year). But there are a couple of serious dark horses still in there; including Kevin Doets (Smith's executioner) and Callan Rydz (9 dart finisher). +++++ Mildred is at school all this week. No time off for the Xmas festivities. Next week is the big one. Might get a whole week off for the New Year. Hope so. Lowest leccy bill for 6 months. Just under 1,700 baht. I've spoken to the wife about this. Didn't want her to hear about it second hand and give me everlasting yak yaks. She said OK. So, next week I'm gonna give the dustbin men a New Year's tip of 100 baht each. They do a great job. The cats are getting into the roof space. Me and Mildred have been trying to find out how they get in. They charge about and sometimes knock down a ceiling tile. Little Jack Wagger fell through onto my bed the other day. He wasn't hurt but there was quite a dusty mess. It was Christmas Morning in the village Everything was calm and quiet. Until a big truck arrived and brought 1500 sacks of chicken poopoo to the farm. ''Teerak dear!! You said 150 sacks. That's 1,500.'' ''You have to pay farang. I no money. Make little mistake.'' After consultation with the man. ''Only 37,500 baht.'' ''Dear me teerak So much.'' ''Farang not moan. Adjung's mum want 50 sacks.'' Maths was never one of Mrs Snap's stronger points. Should wear a mask stacking these sacks of poopoo. Very dusty they are. Only one thing left to say; merry Christmas to all. Where's that Lao Khow?- 1
