The pond is full.

The pond was about 10 inches down yesterday but after last nights rains its FULL and over flowing. There are overflow drains in the nw corner. The bad news is swmbo lost to drowning 175 ducklings about 4 weeks old. She had built an enclosure up under the house which is concrete but this area is now under 12 inches of water. I had told her don't do it there as every year that sections gets flooded. So much for what I know.

You got that right.

Too true GL. Always remember the 2 house rules:

1. SWMBO is always right.

2. If SWMBO gets it wrong refer to rule No. 1.

What would you know GL? You are just a Farang.

GL, do four-week old ducklings have feathers...did they swim prior to the flooding ?
Or were they simply trapped in their coops?

[No worries as I'm not reporting to the Farm and Fowl Protection Services (surely none exist locally anyhow) , I was just wondering why they couldn't stay afloat under shelter from the rain.]

Some good news. 50 made it and are in a new nursery (dry).

I'm back.. I was talking with the boss and yes there was flooding half between KC and the CC market, she saw it on the Thai news this morning. The only local flooding I am aware of is just east of the Bangkok Bank which floods if you take a piss and the side road on the west side of us which can be normal for this time of year. Took a drive this afternoon over to Lamduam and saw NO flooding. As usual Thai media making a mountain out of a mole hill.
