Ooh... Your flood situation looks so unreal. We have spring floods in some parts of Finland because of the melting snow and ice, but even those have gotten smaller, or haven't been reported so often. Maybe the winters have been so much warmer lately. Anyway I hope you and the cats continue being alright albeit all the flooding. Btw. You mentioned a dam in Laos... did it break down, or did they just release the water?
I hope this isn't a silly question... When Leo and I visited Bangkok, how did you manage to come there every morning to meet us from 500 km away? I just realized we never really asked you where about in Thailand you were from.
I've been gradually trying to make a slight comeback to Hive, but it's been really slow. I have been completely consumed with the Python scripts I've been writing for the last few weeks. It's been fun, though.
Leo's doing fine if you've been wondering. He's currently preparing for his matriculation exams in high school.
Although... We did have quite a scare with his health some weeks ago, when he eventually lost all hearing in his left ear. It started with a hum in his ears and loss of feeling in the left ear one night. Next day he lost his balance and I took him to the ER. They ordered corticosteroids to help with the possible swelling so that the blood could flow into the inner ear, but the damage had already been done. Doctor said we shouldn't hold up any hopes of his hearing ever coming back. It took a couple of days, but apparently the brain adjusts to use only one ear as a balance device, and now he can walk again normally.
I don't think I'm going to blog about his situation though. If he wishes, he can do it himself.
Ninnu's blog has been a bit quiet lately, but I have some photos, and am hoping to put something there in the near future.
Be well. We all hope the flood subsides and you will manage to save your garden and fishes too!
