Climbed up a step ladder and picked some Mexican Purple Mangoes. This one was 2lbs ........... not bitter and not sweet.

I love bacon and eggs ........ with fried bread and fried mushrooms.

My roof arrived this morning, about an hour to lift on the beams, it'll be nice to sit out on once it's tiled and the railings are up.

All mango trees, those are yellow mangos, on the left I have green, and on the right I have Mexican purple. I was expecting them to all be ripe before the builders were ready to start work, but agreed the build on Saturday and they started on the Monday. Not like in the west where you have to...

2 floor extension ...... this is 90 minutes work this morning.

Scaffolding arrived yesterday.

Building has stopped for the Songkran holidays, they'll be back at the weekend to start the upper floor.

Why didn't you just buy the one in your hand and cancel the one you ordered?

Just not true, almost everyone in Asia has a smart phone with internet. Even the Burmese labourers kid was sitting playing on the internet, while his mom was digging.

I live in the 3rd world, and it's waaaaayy nicer than the western world. If I were back in the UK, I'd probably have killed myself by now.

Two Burmese ladies digging the foundations today, complete with ear-rings, makeup and lipstick (bit of a novelty to watch). No concrete mixer, these ladies will be mixing that by hand later, this is hard work for $10 a day.

I watched the workmen dig foundations in torrential rain. The rabbit checked their work after they left.

Just agreed to a 4m x 4m 2 floor extension on my house. Tiled floors, balcony railing on the upper floor, no walls ........ $5,000. They start tomorrow. I'm thinking a Roman tent on the balcony where I can drink beer and smoke in the evenings.

Agree, paid off my mortgage when I was 45, my (former) wife just divorced me and got a free home. Now my new (much younger wife) has a mortgage (another 20 years) and I live in her house (my pension makes the repayments), when I die she'll be shit out of luck. And before anyone claims I'm just...

i hate it that nobody accepts personal responsibility for anything in their life. Don't tell me what California is doing, tell me what YOU are doing! It cost me under $1000 to install 5x solar panels producing just over half my energy. About 3 days work, building the brackets and screwing...

I suspect I'll be dead long before my house is dead. (house will last at least another 50 years, I'll be lucky to survive 5 more)

And they'll make fat profits from that, putting the price of the home out of reach of many people. Climate change alarm is about governments and big corporations profiting from repressing the freedoms of the people. PS. My home isn't new (8 years old now).

Climate change warnings are just a fantasy, none of them have ever come true (which is the definition of fantasy). The glaciers haven't all melted, there's still ice at the poles, no populated island has ever sunk, New York isn't underwater. But let's just imagine for one second it is all real...

BeckyG has something though ..........

My dishwasher went out with her pals this morning, leaving the sink full of dirty dishes.
