'Out of season' in Kalkan...weather etc....5th Nov until 10th Dec...

[amber]

Pattaya - It  really is only the old town that is affected,the harbour is fine and from Moonlight bar upwards it is ok too.The road by the Pirat is not being touched so there will always be access to the harbour level walking or by car.The works in the old town are a pain for us that live here but there sometimes has to be a penalty for living in paradise!!!

Onelove - I too slept like a baby so no idea how much rain we had last night - will investigate shortly,the cats will want their breakfast!

I'm up early watching the Ashes 

I'd go back to bed mate.......

[onelove]

Haha pw.  What odds for a 'backs to the wall' draw

10:20 and it's lashing it down 

[onelove]

By 10:50 the rain had stopped and we had beautiful sunshine again  it's now 12:00 and we still have brilliant sunshine, and it's lovely and warm .......

Well today was a proper mixed bag weather wise.....as I've already said it was wet first thing this morning then by 11:00ish the weather had very much improved and we had brilliant sunshine again, things steadily got better from there on and by 13:00 we were (again !) on sunbeds    to be honest the sun was in and out behind some, at times very black, clouds. When the clouds cleared, which they did for most of the time, it's was Hot in the direct sun, then by 15:30ish the clouds were back and it looked like that was it, sunbathing wise, for the day, but hey ho the clouds cleared again and it was lovely until just gone 16:00. So all in all not a bad day it had to be said. It's 17:35 now and Still Very mild but the wind is starting to pick up and me thinks we may be in for some more rain later on 

Note to self : must finish the gardening tomorrow 

Onelove.

Thats Kalkan for you on a winters day!!! Wore my wellies all day and carried around my brolly and mac however........sat outside Adda Patesserie this morning enjoying the sunshine and a lovely coffee.

Its really windy now but on a positive we have electric and water!! The roadworks seem to have slowed down in the old town just a lot of mess and roads you cant use!!

[onelove]

If this is Winter.....I want more of it  . We have been here just coming up 3 weeks and I have not been out of shorts & t-shirt, day & night....except bedtime 

20:10 and we have lots of (amazing) lighting 

[Blue Lizard]

Ha Ha....best you wash your shorts and t shirt they must be minging by now

[onelove]

Mmmmmm, good idea BL, I was wondering what it was with all the flies, and there was me thinking it was the wife    

Up early again @ 05:30 for the Ashes, should not of bothered, don't like watching Pom Bashing 

@ 07:00 this morning it was very overcast & cloudy (or are they the same thing !!!) anyway could not start our walk until the cricket was over @ 09:30, just started walking and the sun came out  it stayed with us all the way until we got back just before 10:30 when the clouds re-appeared 

Now to get on with finishing the gardening before the football starts 

We had the most Wonderful lighting show last night, very little thunder & No rain, very odd    Whilst we were out walking I bumped into and had a chat to a local I know and the only topic on the agenda was last nights 'Lighting' he told me that the last time it was that spectacular was a few years ago, Wow, we got to see a good one then 

Still Very very mild and the sun is trying its hardest to break through   

Onelove.

[onelove]

The sun was 'in & out' all day.....all in all, not a bad day weather wise. Still mild though 

17:05, 100% cloud cover.

Its sunny here this morning so maybe he has gone for a swim or maybe had a stroll around the old town and fell down a hole!!
 I cant tell you how hard it is living in the old town at the moment but we trying to keep our spirits up.They have rigged me up a temporary phone/internet connection so it doesnt seem quite as bad now I have contact with the outside world again and electricity too - we are being spoiled today!!! After the rains we have lots of mess,rubble and mud combined but luckily workers came down by Kaptans yesterday (lots of men with shovels) to try and improve things! Many of the roads are very dangerous to walk on and you take you life in your own hands.A very large hole has been exposed very near me (an old cesspit probably) so together with vast collection of exposed pipes and wires you never know what you might come across.With lack of street lights its best not to go far after dark!!
You can drive down Pirat Hill (will remain untouched) and the back road where Iso Restaurant is at the moment but the back road is due to be ripped up soon.I think virtually every business in the whole of the old town is shut but the road along the harbour is fine just a bit (big bit) dusty.So some restaurants remain open.
So fingers crossed for lots of sunshine,no rain and I hope to see a road builder in my road again very very soon!!!!

Some great pics on KTLN a few days ago.

Onelove had the audacity to try and help someone and provide a helpful answer.. this  heinous crime led to heavy handed moderation and has  killed off the daily updates and the last bit of banter available...he was in my opinion fully justified in asking whats the point in posting anymore?..(also removed) so sad when someone is only trying to help  ..I shall prepare for removal

[kevincat99]

Blue Lizard what did One Love say that was so terrible as I didn't see it

Also why if it was removed was there no mention on here that it had been

I thought that after the last bit of bother that was to be the case

Or once again am I missing something

[Babs]

There were a few posts, including mine, also removed as apparently according to the forum rules there should not be any discussion on the transfer section. There was nothing inflammatory at all!

[Blue Lizard]

That's terrible!! I'm sure when Santa finds out about such dastardly behaviour yours is one chimney he doesn't climb down!!...No onesie for you!

[Babs]

I know I am positively evil!   
But to be honest if I miss out on a onesie then that will be a blessing!

[littlelin]

I didn't see onelove's post but saw his obvious follow up stating that as his posts had been removed then he would no longer be posting on this forum. Later that post was removed. I posted asking where his post had gone and mine was also removed. Nothing from the administrators to advise that these posts had been removed, they just whip them away. Why can't they do what other forums do and leave the post in place but delete the contents and replace with "this post had been removed"?
