🌧️ When the water comes, a giant fish menu and warm coffee with the lifestyle of the people fighting (flooding), camping and fishing.🐟🌧️

🙏 Hello, my lovely friends!

🌧️ A refreshing morning and a home garden mission.
This morning, the air is still moist after a light rain shower all night, giving the garden soil a cool, refreshing sensation. Waking up at 4:00 AM, my husband rushed out to explore the garden, anticipating the "net" he had set up the night before. To his surprise, the net contained no fish at all. (I suspect the fish might have all fled the floodwaters.) Even though it was a little disappointing, it was no big deal. After returning home, the housekeeping duties began immediately. This included housework, picking up some items from a restaurant, and, most heartwarmingly, my husband prepared a special breakfast: his favorite hot mocha coffee, fragrant and paired perfectly with fresh bananas from the garden. It was a simple yet joyful start to the day. The beautiful coffee and banana photos from the garden are perfect evidence of this happiness!
Next, it was time to take care of our beloved pets, which you've moved inside to protect from the heavy rain for several days. Both the adorable parrot and the sulcata tortoise are now able to rest in a warm, safe place. Then, the most important task is taking care of your mother, including bathing, changing clothes, and feeding your younger sister. Then, you go into the kitchen to cook rice and wash the dishes. For lunch, you don't have to worry at all because your aunt has already prepared a delicious menu using the fish she caught yesterday. It's a day where many tasks go smoothly.

🎣 Flashback to the Fun: Fishing in the Rain (Yesterday Afternoon)

Yesterday's afternoon was filled with excitement and fun. After moving things from the garden house, my husband called my sister's relatives to join him in "fishing" in the garden. The Day the Rods Cast and Friendships Bloomed
The story began in the late afternoon, when rain fell and the sky was overcast, creating the perfect atmosphere for relaxation and a favorite activity. Fishing
A group of fishing friends had arranged to meet at a palm grove fish pond in my area. This was a peaceful haven where they could escape the noise of the city and unwind. Now, who's ready? Who's going to go first? A cheerful greeting rang out as the group began preparing the pondside area. Everyone was dressed in their gear and ready to go. They sat on the ground by the riverbank, neatly arranging their gear. The smell of damp earth, falling rain, and the scent of vegetation wafted through the gentle breeze. There were people meticulously tying their rods, while others just sat and stared blankly at the murky water. Fishing wasn't just about waiting for a fish to take the hook; it was a time of revelry. Truly alone and in harmony with nature, time passed slowly. Everyone began to disperse to their own confident spots. The rod was cast out with hope, leaving a small buoy floating still on the surface of the water. Some friends stood like statues, their eyes fixed solely on the buoy, while others relaxed under their own umbrella in the middle of the rain, their hands confidently placed on the fishing rod, ready to respond in a split second when the fish started to bite the bait. The atmosphere was filled with friendship and teasing, whether the fish took the hook or not. The time spent together here was more valuable than catching a big fish. They were creating memories together under the light gray sky and the water reflecting the shadows of the surrounding trees. Then, suddenly, someone's buoy began to sink rapidly. The sound of excitement was heard. A small fight between man and fish had begun. It was at the time when the water was rising and overflowing from the pond, causing some fish to swim away. It was a good opportunity to collect the remaining fish in the pond.

This fishing activity involved not only using rods and hooks, but also setting up several nets. The hours spent from afternoon until evening were well spent, as everyone caught a fair number of fish, both large and small. The most exciting part was the capture of a giant sea bass (probably a freshwater barramundi or similar, a fish with delicious meat) weighing 3.7 kilograms, along with several other fish of good weight. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the activity. The photos of the fish in the nets and the fishing atmosphere were proof of the fun.

Even though it rained heavily throughout the afternoon and evening while we were fishing, we persevered. We set up our tents to shelter from the rain. Even though we got a little wet, our smiles and laughter never faded. It was truly an activity that created unforgettable memories.

🐟 Today's Plans

Today, I plan to return to the pond to continue with the fish, as I believe there are still some large fish left. I believe the smaller fish have all swum away, so I can efficiently collect them.

Thank you for your encouragement. We're living a joyful, warm, and close life close to nature this time. It's truly a colorful story of life in the garden.

And for today, I must take my leave, my friends. See you next time. Thank you for following and supporting me. Thank you very much.
