Leaf: Our neighbours were slowly, steadily, stealthily and frustratingly stealing all our green mangoes, so today we took drastic action and collected the rest. We were able to give about 7 kilo's away to our friends and household so they can all make green mango pickle. We kept a few to add to our dahl. I won't make mango pickle this year.

Rae: A week of road work means a lot of entertainment, not just for my boys, but for all the neighbors who stand and watch. Also, the digger had a Che Guevara sticker on the back. (Pai, Thailand)
