    @ Naptownmike,
    Those are really big and quite beautiful butterflies. We have some very aromatic flowering trees and when they bloom they draw them in. We have one tree that can have upwards 6 or 8 of them at anytime

    Not really in my garden but nearby at my dogs walking route. Meeting an old woman with a fierce dog (might be she is not so old as myself, though) collecting red blossoms with a seed (dok nui) that are dropping down in these days from a high thorny tree - there are 4 of them around. She sell the seeds at market for 160 B/kg, good for cooking.

    Re #367 above:
    Incidentally, we have arrived yesterday to a restaurant of the name Dok Nui, they have few such trees in their vicinity. So, they harvest every morning the falling blossoms and they serve it as an appetizer (after a suitable frying). Really very tasty, so we purchased a half kilo take away with us.

    So, should I wake up every morning one hour earlier to reach the trees in our neighbourhood before the old woman arrive and collect it for us? No, this we cannot do to the old woman (although not so old as me). And my back-bone would not be happy either...

    The outside toilet light does that Nev.

    Every large garden needs an outside toilet rather than having to troop all through the house, especially when entertaining.

    Don't you fink?

    As I mentioned before, this year we are absolutely inundated with limes (from about 8 trees).

    I've been collecting the windfalls in a bucket and been using maybe 4 a day in my squeezed lime and soda water drinks, and the wife probably uses the same again in cooking. But there is still a huge surplus.



    So... I knew she's come in handy one day.



    Ended up with nearly 2 litres of lime juice which I'm turning into lime ice cubes for my drinks. It's windy today and by the time I'd finished there were another 9 windfalls...

    ^ good idea Mendip. I see from the hand written cookbooks on the windowsill where you get all the pea inspiration from, must be generations of recipes.

    My mum had three notebooks of recipes, some from the war where the ingredients used were restricted to those on ration or that you could grow yourself, an interesting read.

    I was walking around the garden today and had that feeling I was being watched...



    How had this escaped my notice? More bladdy pigeons... mummy flew off leaving her two kids. This will have to go once they have flown the nest, the pigeons just make so much mess.



    But the good news is... we finally have hoopoes nesting in one of the nest boxes.

    Indeed.
    As they can be quite the characters -

    Interesting note, that they've been looked upon and depicted historically - rather ancient species.

    Perhaps checking on you whether the pH measurement was taken correctly...

    Can you tell what kind of snake it was?

    Or is it impossible?

    I would say it was almost definitely a golden tree snake. I don't know it there's a way to be sure. That's mainly because most if our snakes stay on the ground.. the tree snakes are always climbing. Also the skin was from a thin snake.

    ^ Beautiful colour.

    We had a storm pass through Korat last night which brought some much needed rain.

    It was very windy, and in the morning it was mango carnage on what passes for our lawn...



    We lost about 40 nice mangoes... another couple of weeks and these would have been lovely and ripe. Mind, the wife will still make use of these hard unripe ones.



    I picked up nearly 50 limes from the ground as well. No problem using these up.



    Still got plenty of mangoes down the back, but it won't be the bumper year we were hoping for.
