All go at the farm

Fin has her breakfast with us then we get her working in the garden. Cant miss an opportunity to exploit my supply of child labour. At 07:00 Jai's son phones to make sure Fin is OK, shortly followed by her other gran and by 07:15 she is on her way home again.
We bike out to the farm to watch them working and they are obviously envisaging a big job. There are 4 big trucks, a JCB, an earth mover and a tractor all lined up and they have cleared quite a large piece of land of undergrowth already. I dont like seeing the trees come down but they are largely straggly things that are worthless from a farm point of view and the rice will be much better.
George picks me up from the house about 10:30 and we bike over to Pak Chong to reconvene our weekly conference over refreshments. I dont get back until nearly 14:30 today but Jai hasnt bothered waiting for me to eat and has taken care of herself - dont blame her.
Lazy afternoon until I get the hosepipe out in the evening to water the newly planted assorted veg.
I know there is English football on Thai TV tonight but I dont know who is playing. Sit through the first half of Sunderland v Newcastle but call it a night at half time with an early start ahead of us tomorrow.
