Christmas Eve At Mike And Riza's,

was more than nice,

Jeff and Da called round,

to pick us up,

then it was to the other side of Sumkivit to Mike and Riza's house,

just of Soi Numplanwan, first thing a picture, unfortunately Riza was getting changed after spend all day cooking,

and what a load of food awaited us! prawns, crabs, taco's and dip, chilli con carn, chicken in coconut sauce, beef with olives, the list goes on and on, delicious!

Diana chatting to Margeux, her friend from Romania Martin was also there, Mike had a bigger tree than us!

in the front garden was this bougainvillea tree/plant, it was so unusual as it had so many different coloured leaves on it,

just in case you thought I meant flowers the colours are the leaves, the flowers are in the center of the leaves, small specks of white if the image is big enough,

Mike and Riza also had a "Buddha" bamboo, so called because the stem is supposed to look like Buddha's belly,

well lots of belly's!

Jeff brought along a bottle of Hardy's wine, I settled for my usual "bulk" purchase,

and for Jill the cat is still alive and well, Jeff is making a fuss of it,

Mike, Jeff, Myself and Martin,

then Lee and Russ arrived,

all to soon it was time to go, Diana, Da, Riza, Mike, Lee, Russ and Jeff, many, many thanks to Mike and Riza for the wonderful start to Christmas eve.
