Some Random Thoughts and Pictures

I don't think it matters how much you like your job-it's still tough getting going after having a great holiday.

I went for a "longer" run this weekend and was determined to find a big loop so that I didn't have to go out and back too many times. I am getting to know parts of the canals quite well but they go on forever and it will take a while before I know all of the intersections, which are in better shape and which are the most scenic.

I have had to clamber over this bridge a couple of times. It's fine but it sways a bit in the middle.

The underpasses are a bit creepy only because they are dark and a bit dingy. Fortunately they don't last long.

Underpasses make great protection for a boat storage.

That pipe on the left is a bonus if an extra wide load is coming the other way. 

We call this "the park" but not sure why. It should be "the swamp" but it is a landmark on our travels.

 My buddy the goat-see him often.

Landmarks are often "turn left at the mosque". It helps to know what a mosque looks like. Speakers along the entire walkway announce the call to prayer.

Probably the most dangerous thing to happen is to smack your head on low hanging bananas. It has happened and it's embarrasing.

I have to say, I was surprised. That's $3.60 by the way. Almost anything is available at a price.

They shrunk the eggplants.

and stretched the beans.

Cucumber on the right....cooked the one on the left.

Lesson learned...do not put coconut milk in the fridge. How much fat is in it for it to be solid like that? 

I found a new route today on my bike.....open fields and in the far distance are the two towers of a mosque. They are a good visual for those of use who get disoriented.

Areas are having trees removed-probably for more building.

 Tearing up the trees....this was recent.

Look closely and you can see the machinery tearing up the trees etc. This neat old spot with the fence will probably be torn down by tomorrow. It looks like they were working their way down.
