Day 4, Snakes and Blisters

Aug 18th, 2009 | By John | Category: Stratton House Childrens Home

DSCF3992I had to go into Chiang Mai again this morning on visa business and I took the opportunity to pick up a wheelbarrow on the way back home.

We went straight down to the house after my teaching in the afternoon, getting many raised eyebrows and smiles as I transported the wheelbarrow on my motorcy.

Onsite I carried on moving the tiles whilst Boon went at the trees again.

Its so long since either of us have done work like this we’re getting blisters, but its all good.

We had bought a proper bow saw at lunch time and you can just see the difference it made.

Can’t help admitting to some jealousy at Boon having the job that 1 and a half hours work looks like he’d been at it all day.

My tile pile however…..well you know piles of things, until you get past halfway it doesn’t show that you’ve done much.

It was much easier and quicker with the barrow and I’m sure I’ll have cleared them all by end of day tomorrow.

It was a two snake day today, one of which I must have inadvertently picked up as it ended up in the wheelbarrow.

Both escaped alive, but I’m pretty sure they were harmless ground snakes.
