We've finally started our long, ungainly lope towards the typhoon season; whilst this isn't for months yet, we've been reliably informed that before that, we've got the rainy season and the hot season - which is apparently two whole months of continuous sweating. Can't wait. But for now, it's lovely - there's a nice warm breeze, and all the windows are open, meaning that from here we can hear the trains going past, and the buzzing of the electrical poles. Nice.

This little tree is just at the end of our road, and is about 8 feet tall. All the trees are like this - even the ones that are on communal land. I'm missing the normal English 'let it fend for itself' tree, but at least it means that someone's looking out for the wildlife...
