Well, I’ve been having a bit of bloggers block for the last couple of days (I’ve got something big coming down the tubes but it’s going to take another day or two). I should have had faith, odd things happen when there’s nothing to blog about, today was no exception:
Apparently a taxi driver decided it would be too much trouble to reverse 10ft back to turn around after dropping someone off at their apartment (or his car only goes forwards, it really wouldn’t surprise me) and decided to squeeze between some bollards and go on a tour of the gardens of our apartment complex trying to find away out. Somehow he missed the very large pond which breaks free of it’s walls and cuts under the path like a stream (he was probably lighting a cigarette or swigging from his filthy jar of tea at the time it came into view).
I can’t imagine how many cigarettes got smoked down there while they figured out how to get it out (which they did eventually), it was pretty serious stuff though, requiring the undivided attention of the entire suite of security staff and two men with brushes, they even brought in a guy on a moped and the local tricycle guy (to collect up all the pieces which used to be attached to the car for recycling)
Thanks to H for taking these pics for me while I was at work, today Dingle Speaks and H Shows!

Maybe there are herbalists who can help you out. Swiss will no doubt have their business cards.
Good grief I’m surprised they didn’t need to call up the fire brigade, police, cave rescue and the RSPCA to have a good stare at that.
Sales of cheap cigarettes must have gone through the roof round your end Dingle!
oh they probably did Swiss, but it looks like all the security guards were there, nobody was getting in or out
