Progress in middle of second (partial) day - the end of digging is in sight!
Installing a rain garden at the bungalow. First step: dig out ~9 inches of soil in the ~100 sq ft garden bed. 6 inches of that will be replaced (with compost + soil, then a layer of mulch).
3 more people dead in Bangkok last night. The situation's only going to get worse before it gets better. God help them all if the yellow shirts go through with their threats to start counterprotesting if the government doesn't bring the red shirts under control.

I had to walk downtown at about 10:30 this morning because I had about two feet in front of my garage. It is 8:00 pm now and I still haven't been plowed out but they know that I can usually wait until the very end. I was surprised that the huge piles of snow in the middle of the street had already been removed. Wind chill at the time of the picture was -45 degrees, needless to say I was wearing long johns and my Sorel boots which have insulated liners.
With a new level backyard we needed to put in a retaining wall. The first step was building a trench.
Trenches were dug for the waddles to be buried 3/4 under ground, trenches were also used for walking the slope as we worked to minimize sliding and erosion damage from working on the slope. Waddles were buried with mulch and a few sprigs left unburied that will leaf next spring. The buried waddles will root and stabilize the hill with time.
Sand castles, phase 1. (Alas the siren sound of the waves overcame them and it never got much past "moat" stage.)

Ein Bagger auf der Großbaustelle Hafencity (Hamburg).
Digging the Hafencity (new part of town at Hamburg, Germany).
We had to play with the rules for this one a bit...the first time we tried it they just knelt in the water for a few minutes picking up as many coins as possible...not very action packed. After that, we made it so they could only carry five coins at a time and had to run back to the ends to drop them off before getting more.
While walking along the edge of the forest road I noticed this bird digging in a ditch, he/she didnt seem to mind me being there, just paused to check me out then hopped into a tree until I had passed by.

Labour Corps digging, Western Front, during World War I. This photograph shows five men of one of the Labour Corps groups, probably the South African Native Labour Contingent (SANLC) digging sand under the supervision of a native NCO. The purpose of their digging is unclear but it is possible that they were filling the ever-necessary sandbags.
The Labour Corps included many non-European groups such as the South Africans, Egyptians, Chinese, Cape Coloured and Indian Corps. They were not only restricted from contact with white Europeans but were also segregated into different racially-determined Corps.
