Some of us are working

27 November

I thought I'd add a few pix on the theme of work - just in appreciation of the workers, like these three guys who are installing electricity cables along the road. 

And this one who mended my sandals for me.

And the family who run the local fruit stall and who also make and sell these devotional offerings made of marigolds and banana leaves.

Meanwhile, when the villa upstairs is empty we get to enjoy using their terrace for a change of scenery. It's a fabulous view.

And here's Trevann beside the Mekong.

Just a night-time scene along the road that took my fancy.

There's been the usual dearth of wildlife in town although we saw some swallows over the river and a white-throated kingfisher one day. Otherwise it's just the omnipresent taylorbirds and a few sparrows. And we found this fine fellow sitting on our doorstep one evening.

Oh yes, it took us two weeks to realise that our neighbour over the road wasn't selling sausages!
