While waiting for the girls to get out of school today, I noticed a little boy using his toy truck for bait in the trash-filled ditch.
Fishin' For a Bacterial Infection 🎣
While waiting for the girls to get out of school yesterday, I backed the tuk-tuk into my usual spot and noticed a boy tying a string to his toy truck. He is of age that he should've been in uniform and in school at that time, but little man was determined to use his truck to do some fishing in the trash-filled ditch between the school and the highway. Hopefully he didn't catch a disease, because this ditch is the place to pee, toss dead snakes, and also dump trash.
One Warrior Onboard 🛺
On the way back to Steung Kach, most of the kids usually grab a bar and pass out in the first 15 minutes. I am amazed at the contorted positions they are able to sleep in, but because it's easy to slide out of the tuk-tuk, I often turn around and make sure no passengers are flirting with disaster. 50% of the time I turn around when driving home, I find our youngest passenger wide awake and keeping herself entertained.
Home Again 🏞️
After dropping all the kids off, I was looking forward to my half-day of rest. The wife was busy collecting rocks for some potted plants down at the river, so I decided this would be a convenient excuse to drive the Honda Cub a 100 meters. I kind of regret buying the bike because she hasn't bothered to learn how to ride it, and it's now on the list of things I must maintain and check periodically. It might find a second life when we finish the cabin, as some guests may want to explore the area independently, and renting the Cub out could be a good idea.
Me and Monkey-B played around on the Cub a bit, and then I told her to help mom with the rocks project. I took the opportunity to gather photos for a Hive post, knowing my time away from work is always limited. In 5 minutes I wandered around and took various photos while regretting not having the time be in these waters every day.
Crossing Over 🌊
I forded the river for some different photo angles, and while on the other side I realized it will take a long time for the natural swimming pool to reform itself.
The area where the swimming pool used to be is now full of sediment logs, and rocks. This is kind of a good thing though, because now this area is no longer suitable for swimming, but the flood delivered us a new patch of chest-deep water, so we now have the swimming pool on our section of the river.
Touch Me Not 🌿
The touch-me-not plant is common in our area, and I never get less amazed with how quickly the leaves furl after being touched, or in this case, rained on from above.
Nice Rocks Yo' 🪨
I needed a few goofy pics to keep things lighthearted, so I asked Pov to show me what rocks are. Believe it or not, she cooperated and showed me some rocks 🤣.
Monkey-B was more concerned with having fun, can't blame here, we haven't been swimming for far too long. Just as I finished the above photo, Mey-Yii was shouting "the vegetable van is here!" I quickly dashed up the cliff and hopped on the Cub.
I needed to rush up to the highway and tell the van to stick around because we needed to stock up on goods. Before jetting off, I took one last photo to close this post. It feels good to make some intentional Hive content instead of sharing a few pics each day from a frantically busy lifestyle.
