The title "Teaser..." is right.

At the end of the video a big headline: 
"coming soon."

I asked: "when?" 
 The reply was: "Maybe not"


All Quiet on the Sakon City Waterfront

Only one longboat in the water

Seaweed harvesting pending

Lunchtime, Seaweed harvesters sit idle



Not sure if benches have been sitting there all year or were recently erected. Hope a safety check is on the agenda 

It's an awfully bad designed bridge, especially for senior citizens, impossible for the disabled.  Made even more difficult by missing planks 

Park entrance for the 'Parade' delivering the royal trophy.


Look at the steps to get an accurate feel for the steepness of the ramp.


Some vehicles have to  ""put the pedal to the metal" 

It all starts in eight days

Hope the upper half of this float is completed

Parade Craze


Saw this high speed parade go past me last week.

Complete with police escorts, stopping traffic to let the convoy pass  

The types of parades in this city always amaze me

As Seen at Apple's

At times it's like an antique car show


A remnant of times gone by
Probably a 1960's model

Battle station: Snake Alert


7 pm: 
A neighbor alerted us to the fact that she had seen a snake enter our garden.

Flashlights in hand we quickly discovered the invader.

With the primary defensive weapon, bleach spray,  not available, a brick served as immobilizer.

Only the head was visible and easily decapitated.

With fields drying out, snakes are on the move seeking moist environments.
