Happy Saint Patty's

What the heck is up with this weather? What the heck is up with March? I love the weather in Korea 9 months a year, July is a bit damp, January is a touch cool, but what the heck is up with March? I’ll tell you what; Mother Nature takes LSD in March, I have proof. Here it is:
1) March 2005, 60cm of snow in a single day.
2) March 2006, rode my motorcycle from Gangneung to Gimhae (8 hours) in relative comfort.
3) March 2007, look out the window.

We have had 15º, 5º and everything in between. Wind storms, bright sunshine, 5 straight days of overcast. Don’t give me shit about looking at www.weather.com, www.wunderground.com, www.kweather.co.kr, the weather channel, yahoo weather, CNN weather or any of that crap because they could not predict the end colour of a ripening orange. I don’t even want to talk about it anymore, apart from to say “Try organising a motorcycle tour when you can’t predict what the weather is doing 10 minutes from now, let alone on the weekend.”

It is an unmitigated disaster. Everyone is crook. It is bucketing down in Busan, raining in Jangyu and overcast but otherwise fine in Gimhae (7 kilometres away as the crow flies).

Anyway, Bill and I went for a ride to Dadaepo today. It was quite nice. We saw a new suburb under construction, a FERKING BIG mollusc farm, a very lonely, very odd and very big new house, an ostrich and a great big arsed beach that I didn’t even know existed.

I realise this blog is lacking a central theme just as was the collection of items that took our interest today. In an effort to keep with the theme of not having one, here is a photo of our dog in one of a thousand unusual sleeping positions he employs, usually but not always, on our pimped out couch and a wacky pair of signs.
