Diana Decided She Would Like To Go Shopping At Soi Bukaow,

and in truth I did need a few pairs of casual shoes, mine were badly water stained in the Songkran excesses, so we parked almost opposite Friendship to go to the market, if you park in Friendship on market days, Tuesday and Fridays, you have to make a left turn, so parking opposite avoids paying a "fine" as we can go up to Third Road,

the market tropical fish shop,

not a huge selection, there is a better one on Third road, but best of all go to Bangkok,

whilst in the shoe shop, this cat was tormenting a bug of some kind, three pairs of casual shoes 680 baht for the lot, not cheap but very comfortable,

then for Diana dresses, dresses, dresses! and even more of them,

I mentioned about this new cafe opening up last time we were here, but alas, it appears it did not make it,

the orchid sellers are still there, but nowhere near as many people as a few months ago,

then Diana returns with her new dresses,

and it is time to cool off with a couple of ice coffees,

in the afternoon we went to TESCO, Phil had phoned to ask if I could get some injector cleaning additive for his Hardly Dangerous motorbikes, I am guessing he needs it for the V-Rod, TESCO's was packed as you can see from the bile park,

then it was a call into the weekend market on Tepprasit, we were a bit early but at least it was easier to walk around,

whilst there we spotted two huskies, they were really nice, Diana calls them "Devil Dogs" because of their blue eyes,

but I guess they were half devils, in both dogs only one blue eye and one brown, in case you are interested 15-18,000 baht each,

a lot of the stalls were still opening,

after a look around we settled into the bar just opposite the bike auctions, this happens every Friday,

whilst there I spotted this Tempter 400c.c. motorbike, for me it looked really nice,

with alloy rims and a huge TLS (twin leading shoe) front brake,

and of course lots of food stalls near here,

then Mike and Riza arrived,

so off the girls went shopping, hours and many drinks later they returned, loaded down with goodies and food!

"Cheers!" from Diana and me,

and Mike and Riza,

Diana and Riza bought some new bugs to eat, a bit bigger than the normal sized ones Diana likes,

and I treated Diana to two new car sponges to wash the truck with, the old ones were getting a little dirty and were not as big as these, yes I know I am all heart!

then back to 388 when Craig and Porn called in for a chat and a drink,

the girls having a chat before eating,

meanwhile Yu and Mint play on the computer, then food and drink over and it was time for bed, tomorrow the usual suspects will I hope be calling into 388, see you then!
