MORE DURIAN

Mmmmmmm. More Durian. Check this out. Guess durian season hasn't quite ended here yet. The smell should have given that away.

Wholly thunder/lightning storm this morning. And I should probably not (NOT!)(NOT!) be on the internet. It is incredibly dark in the house this morning, right now, it's pouring buckets of rain and in every single room in this house there's that incessant drip, drip, drip sound coming from up above, again. Just what we needed - some excitement. Nothing like a bit of excitement to start the day.

So, not like we ever make the weather map around here. CNN, BBC or the Australian Network. BUT. (actually - that's probably not quite true, I think it may have happened twice now in the last 2 years) But, this morning all you could see on the weather map, (left-hand bottom corner just below everywhere else) was a big mother of all cloud covering this whole island up. You'd think Borneo (Kalimantan) disappeared. It's going to be an all rainy day here.

...... and right about NOW, the thunder is getting louder, closer and more of it. The Gots are filling (filled) up. The electric is going off and on (a lot) .............. and it's definitely, time for me to get the heck off the internet.

Ready the buckets!

TODAY: First off - we'll just have to wait and see if the rain goes away. Or how much we actually get. Or if we totally loose electric. Or the internet. Or spring a leak. And end up with a tarp over the top of the house. Or. Or. Or.

......... might have to re-think the plan for today. It's early, and it's already shaping up for an interesting day.

Good to Go!

THE DURIAN FRUIT

Goodbye weekend. Back to real life. Can't pretend I'm on holidays anymore.

Another successful weekend ...... whipped by way to fast. Again. Funny how that happens. And a busy weekend it was too - but we did manage to get some down time in yesterday afternoon. Good deal for us!

The leak in the roof - I think is sort-of-fixed. Need to wait for a big rain storm to see if the repair job the maintenance guys did really works out. Still have the black hole in the ceiling but they were up in the attic for quite awhile doing something at least. Another one of those we'll see things I guess.

Now about the DURIAN. (See photo up above) It's a fruit believe it or not. And it's in season and they are everywhere. And it stinks. Really, really and lots. In fact in a lot of places this thing is banned or against the law. And for good reason too. There is no possible way to describe the smell of this thing - you've just got to experience it for yourself. Hard to believe they allow this thing in the supermarket.

TODAY: Much of the same. Errands this afternoon. It seems like we do a lot of errands around here ........ There's a LOT of stuff going on here at all times. And we like it like that.

Bought some really cool paintings on our holiday and need to make a run to the framing shop to pick them up. That's the easy part. Then we need to hang them up. Cement walls - gonna make that task a little tough. But ................

Good to Go!
