I don't really know how or why we assess time. It's a pain in the arse at times.
I find there are insufficient hours in the day at the best of time and whilst I keep quite busy on a daily basis and in general feel that I do what I have to do. Certain things including the weather can cock days up in so many ways, it might be worth considering time to be a crime.
I hadn't been able to get out today, a couple of problems early on this morning delayed me for a few hours which meant a drive was out of the question as I had to be back home to keep an appointment at 3.30pm.
I'd intended going to the coast as well, checked this morning and the sea was creating havoc in places, high tide was due at around 9am or so and I was going to make an early start. Really looking forward to getting some photographs of the sea crashing over the sea wall at Blackpool and hitting up on the dunes around Lytham St Annes.
Then the phone went!
Never mind, life is life. It happens to all of us, some worse than others.
For whatever reason I ended up about an hour or so back looking at a couple of the other threads I had done as opposed to 'Beautiful Lancashire'
I could hardly believe it had been July when I was last on this one. Time. It's daft.
Anyhow, I had a look at a couple of photographs and thought I would put a couple on here. You never know, some folk might be interested.

Another of those Republic of China vehicles you find in Burma and Laos especially, there's allways an odd one or two in Thai border towns to compliment the Chinese I rather suspect.

Not that the presence or the condition regardless of the lack of road tax let alone an MOT and Insurance would be a silly suggestion.
What grabbed me was the use.
Most of us can turn a tap on and get water for drinking, washing, bathing, showering, toilet flushing, watering the garden plants or cleaning the car.

So I'm moaning about a bit of time and this chap must spend several hours every day getting the water he needs from the Mekong River down a rugged steep pathway and he appears to be quite happy doing it.

He could have carried a couple of dozen empty containers down there with the help of his kids for instance and they could be filling them up by the river.
He's toting them up hill and onto the vehicle though.
It's quite a stretch of water too that River.

Up in the mornin',
Out on the job,
I work like the devil for my pay.
But that lucky old sun, has nothin' to do,
But roll around heaven all day.
I fuss with my woman, toil for my kids,
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray.
While that lucky old sun, has nothin' to do,
But roll around heaven all day.
Dear Lord above, don't you see I'm cry'in?
I got tears all in my eyes.
Why don't you send down that cloud with the silver lining,
Lift me up to Paradise
Show me that river, take me across,
Wash all my troubles away,
Cos that lucky old sun, he's got nothing to do,
But just roll around heaven all day
(Dear Lord above, can't you know I'm cry'in?
Tears all in my eyes),
Send down that cloud with the silver lining,
Lift me to Paradise
So show me that river, and then take me across,
Wash all my troubles away.
Cos that lucky old sun, he's got nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
I say he just-a roll around heaven all day,
Quite a few folk sang that old song too.

Don't we take a great deal for granted.
