"Killing Fields" museum in Siem Reap

So the main place tourist would go for this is just outside the captial city. But it turns out we have a mini one in our own town.

 

Outdoors with friends

 

With hot season looming we're taking the time to be outside with friends while we still can. Yesterday we met up with people to walk around a small man made lake in the jungle-temple park.

Still cold but getting ready for hot season

 We just wanted a few branches trimmed so rats can't climb onto our house...but the trimmer went a bit too far. Its lovely at the moment being able to see the sunset.

But the hottest months are approaching. The house was designed to not need air con, and part of that was the trees around the house.  Hopefully, foil and shade cloth will mean we can still live in our house next month.

Our first 5 hot seasons in this house were ok, but the 6th one it turned out MAY was dangerously hot. And then the 7th April had many days 'feels like 47'.

Hoping this hot season is back to normal.

January 2025

Just some random photos from this month. Cool weather, trying to make the most of it by getting lots of outside time and homeschool done.

Ran of out of cooking gas and regular shop shut, used a friends electric stove for awhile.

Low air quality was a hot topic tbis month.
