A ploy I have seen used successfully quite often is to get the Sakon goalkeeper to come away from the immediate goal, leaving the goal exposed. Sakon Nakhon remains in tenth place in a league of 14.  One can only hope that there are better days ahead.  Nex game Wed 18 April Toyota Cup Sakon FC hosts Rayong FC

Cold day in April

It's a bit unusual to be this chilly in April and hard to believe that the overnight temperature will climb to 26 within four days.  This morning I've unpacked my heater to get the chill out and may need it again tonight.   High temperature yesterday was 23 and my pool was occupied for three different shifts.

Toy for all ages

Martins wall is now near ground level

During yesterday's visit I noted sides caving in due to the water table. Notice the red brick wall upper left  That wall has now slipped into the trench.  Ropes fastened to the wall were to keep the water pipes stable  Also in danger of slipping into the hole is a cement electric pole I advided Martin that he should be fastened to a safety rope
