Been experimenting with tumblr blogging.
Discovered that I can link my posts to Facebook.
It's an ideal substitute for those of you who don't want to go near Facebook.

UK TV vs Thai Expat tv

UK TV	Thai Expat TV
15 Channels	15 Channels
24 hr content history	7 day content history
490 THB monthly	600 THB monthly
3,800 yearly	6,000 THB yearly

UK TV recently had a few days of free access to all their channels.  Most impressive was uninterrupted scrolling even during peak evening hours.

Weather forecasts have been extremely inaccurate recently.

Rain forecast over the last few days did not materialize, just some ominously dark clouds to the south.

I looked at weather maps and realized there'd be no rain.

I did not mention it, six weather services can't all be wrong.
Yes they can.

This NOAA weather map indicates a system is approaching from the east (4am Thai)
