The Inevitable

The big flood a week ago back home still haunts a lot of people. Everybody are still edgy if the same thing would strike again. Our friends and relatives in Ban Mulaut are too familiar with this. The water has not completely receeded even after a week as the rain keep on coming down now and then. It has been an interesting time reading all the comments made in the opinion box.

On the home front here, with missus still away back home for another week, and me left with three really grown-up babies, it has been relentless time trying to cater for their needs. Luckily our eldest has came off her age and been doing most of the cooking. Her recent stint in France as part of her F.T. also came in handy. Nonetheless I still ended up spending a lot of time driving around to send them to all sort of things. These two weeks I am completely abandoning my bike. The morning routine is now dropping the kids at the train station and then driving through the maze of traffic, cutting through three of the busiest motorways here, on the way to the office. Riding on the bike seems less arduous and more civilised, at least away from the over motorised world out there.

Hopefully the situation will calm down one of these days, soon I hope. Though there was another report of landslide yesterday, collapsing an extended kitchen of a family.

I hope somebody is working out the roots behind the current precarious situation. It's quite sad to see what's happening right now.
