Morning all, Still dark and cool here, (23c), but birds are singing, so could be a reasonable day..... The main railway gauge here is "Cape Gauge" 3 foot 6 inch, so still "narrow" but much is overgrown. OK got "important" visitors to my big project today, the rest of you enjoy yours. Trev

Morning all, There was a slight (and rare) bonus with work yesterday, saw this: But to get the photo I had to leap on to the top of a pretty rickerty oil drum......... "Modern" narrow gauge.? A lot of work is being done (under the guidance of the Chinese) to restore the rail network here. Enjoy the week, Trev.

Morning All, Bit of a bummer that Jam, but that's life! I have never lived under thatch, but have heard all the above stories ( and several real "horrors" from an old thatcher friend of my dads) Oh well off to work I go, have a good day all. Trev

Thanks for those evocative photo's guys. It's one of the few parts of the UK I've never been too. On a different subject, at every road delay here (and they are legion) there are hawkers selling pretty well every thing you can think of. I saw one yesterday selling hot water bottles..............in this part of the world the temperature rarely (like now) drops below the low 20's ©, does this guy know something we dont? Enjoy your week end. Trev

Morning all, Not much to report here either, bit misty at the moment. So enjoy your Friday......... Trev

Morning All, An elephant eh? Well there a guy down the road trying to sell a concrete one painted blue! .........no, didnt think so. Off out into the country this morning (makes a change from sitting in mega-city snarl-ups) Enjoy your day Trev.

Morning all, Mick B, Hope all goes well for you, cant really add more to what others have said. Don (and any one else who's interested?) I'm on West Africa Time, (GMT+1) and 6deg N 3deg E. So tend to get about 12 hour or so of light and the remainder dark. No traditional Seasons here either. Enjoy your day....... Trev

Morning all, Start of yet another month (are they getting shorter, or does it just seem like it???) Weather wise not a lot to report, dull and overcast here (sun rise not due for another 30 minutes) Enjoy your day! Trev

Late on parade this morning, but being the last Saturday in the month, it's "Environmental" day here, that means a blanket ban on road traffic between 7am -10am. So I got a legitimate reason to be late! For those that have a day off, enjoy ! Trev

Morning all, Phil, I sympathise with the on call stuff, bin-there-dun-that, got-the-tshirt!. What used to p** me of was the stupid ones......... But I guess it was all part of life rich tapestry ? Anyway it's Friday again, enjoy your day folks Trev

Morning all, dull and overcast here this morning. Seeing the mention of "Hush-Puppies" earlier, I came across a factory yesterday in Ilupeju claiming to make them.....(well thats what it said on the gate!) Oh well back to the grind, have a good un all. Trev

Mornin all, Yet another Monday, feeling a bit shattered after an all day "progress meeting" with the boss yesterday, just got lots to do now ............. Enjoy your week Trev

Morning all, Well seeing as temperature reporting is this mornings theme, 26C at the mo, rising to around 30c later in the day. But nowhere near what the folks in north America are getting. Then work-wise got the boss coming for lunch & to do round up of all the projects under my control.........so much for my Sunday afternoon snooze... Enjoy your day Trev

Morning all, POETS day for some? Found out yesterday that there has been 264mm (11 inches in old money)of rain since Sunday (most of it was on Sunday! Thats a whole months worth!. I did find out that my Kia floats, as we found an uncharted pot hole, driffted to the side and luckily the wheels gripped. Yes that's bow wave in the front of the Tuk-tuk. The right hand side of the road was deep enough to reach half way up the doors of an Land Rover Discovery! Have a good un all. Trev.
