Gradens and Spirits

You lucky, lucky B*****ds....
During the April to October period 2010, I was very lucky to have a charming South African couple renting the house. Ken and Myrna just love gardening and have put lots of things into the garden here!! Just the job as the only thing I ever put in the garden is scuba tanks and weight belts. So now we have a real nice garden for you all to enjoy. Happy Days, eh?
You will all know by now that there are spirits EVERYWHERE in Thailand. When someone puts a house on some land they have taken that space away from the resident spirit. Therefore a Spirit House must be put on the land to appease the displaced spirit...and suitable offerings MUST be made on a daily basis to keep the spirit happy.
Yeah, yeah...I know some of you reading this will think it's barmy. But clearly it is not! So far, thanks to Jai's constant attendance on the spirit, we have been looked after. That has not been the case for others living on this 'Estate' and who now realise that a Spirit House is essential!!! Several have appeared in the past two months and more are on the way. Yep, I have commission on Spirit Houses.
Nice, tho', all these plants and things. It's looking good. Now we have to employ a gardener!! There's no way I'm going out there pruning or whatever it is gardeners do.
Keith arrived yesterday (for Keith's fans who are following this). We had quite an eventful first night....and no, I haven't seen him yet as he is still upstairs developing International Relations. The Thai representative who was given this honour is.......stunning...I kid you not!!
Yo Ho...another drab day of sun, sea and adventure to get through. What does Mr Caines say...'We're pissed off being so happy'. Ha Ha.
