Tropical Storm

A long week of heat so intense; almost wrong
A human could bake if left out for too long
We hid in our houses, cool shops and our cars
We'd order 'just ice', but it'd melt, at the bars
The flowers showed signs of thirst and fatigue
I swear I heard screams of, 'I'm HOT!' from a tree
If you smelled roasted chicken, it didn't mean food
It ment a poor hen was locked out of her koop
All of that changed when on Wednesday at five
I thought I heard thunder, and looked to the sky
The dark clouds were rolling as the thunder drew near
And I realized just what was happening here
The sky was so beautiful, and the wind was so warm.
The weather was changing! We were in for a storm!

I love storms after hot weather! Hopefully it cooled things off a little to give you some relief.

please please help me I am going crazy, I found you had the same problem as me regarding changing the language of your blog from Thai to English, it's driving me nuts, if you can find it in your heart can you please email me directions how to get it back to English again. I tried to follow the directions left by Mishka but I keep getting sent to a place with 1-2-3 and loads of Thai language, please can you help, nice photo by the way.

Hello, I found out how to solve the problem, and I am a computing retard so you should be back up and running in no time.


Ok here goes, when you go onto your blog click the orange B sign in the top left hand corner of your blog, this should take you to a page with a big blogger sign at the top and a sign in option to the left of it. At the bottom of that page there are some blue links if you run your cursor over them you will notice that the link address will appear right at the bottom left of your screen above start. Go over them until you see the link https://www.blogger.com/language.g click that and then you have a drop down box click that and then you can find English.
I hope these instructions help you, Chok Dee.
