Some pictures of Diana and Myself, where we now live and places around us, things that we find interesting, amusing or just plain weird!

Friday night market,
I had completely lost track of the days over the Christmas period, I thought boxing day was Thursday when it was in fact Friday, as we arrived back late from Nick and Maureen's we did not go out for our usual meal on Friday, but we meet up with Mick and Mas, with Mark and Uncashar who had both just returned from Laos,
we normally sit at a bar just between the clothes section and the food section, but we did not for two reasons, firstly the one you see, I have not a clue as to what it was all about but it was loud, the second reason was even louder, over the road a police auction was going on, selling motorcycles that had been confiscated for one reason or another, basically you pay a 10,000 baht deposit for a bidding number, the bike is wheeled in, for instance Yamaha 4,000 miles on the clock it went for 22,000 baht plus approximately 1,400 for other bits of paper, the bids go up in 500 baht increments, if you thought trying to understand what a auctioneer in the UK or States is saying is difficult you have no chance over here!
so we had a few beers whilst the girls did their shopping, the bar had this mini coffee bar outside of it,
as Diana very rarely drinks she peeled a Heineken sticker from one of the bottles and put it on her coke so she did not feel left out!
then it was back to 388 with a mountain of sushi and a few cold vodka soda's "Cheers!"
