Tuesday And Life Returns To Normal,

so it was down to Jomtien for a late breakfast/early lunch, we stopped at the Surf Kitchen, every time we go for a bite to eat we try another restaurant working our way along the beach, opposite a bit of heavy duty tree pruning was going on,
easy does it!
the crane was closer to the cables than it looked! the down side was that the dust from the chain saw drifted into our food and Diana got a piece in her eye so we moved inside, but not before a now homeless ant landed on my arm and let me know it was not amused,
before the dust started to fall, lots of dishes to chose from,
looking into the restaurant, we moved a couple of tables to be away from the dust, all OK now,
prawn cocktail for me and a club sandwich for Diana,
outside the Surf Kitchen, our food came to 89 baht for me and 99 baht for Diana plus 2 ice coffees at 40 baht each, the tree trimmings were thrown in for free! in the afternoon we watched the start of House of Cards starring Ian Richardson, it was a television series, one of the DVD's I brought back from the UK, Diana liked it so much we watched the following episode in the evening then the next, so by 3 in the morning we had watched the whole thing, it is part of a trilogy, so next on the list to watch is To Play The King most probably next week, I must say I do not like politics at all but for me the series, the way the character played by Richardson, draws you into his confidence makes it compulsive viewing, watch it if you can,
but before then it was down to the food stalls, Diana picked up a few bugs to eat,
yummy!
but then we noticed the soup stall was not there, so it was plan 2 going to Marine Plaza, the good news is that it is slightly cheaper, the bad news is that the flavour is not as nice and worse it is next to loads of clothes stalls, getting ahead of time tonight we are going back to buy a top Diana liked, the soup is not any cheaper now!
now on to Wednesday, we watched a DVD of Cops which Joe very kindly brought over from the States for us, then out on the town, the pizza restaurant had more than a few customers witch was nice to see,
we had our usual meal in the Bier Kitchen and nice it was to, as we were eating Fred came past looking for us but he did not see us,
Walking Street was quite crowded, we knew were Fred was going so it was off to Sisterz,
opposite the restaurant is this beer stall, not easy to sit but the cheaper beers are 35 baht, buy 5 get one free, but no air conditioning!
the restaurant is easy to spot and there always seems to be a watch salesman on the right hand side,
we met up with Fred, Tom and Grieg, whilst we were there Mark, Big Jim and John Boy called in, then into a very busy Walking Street to Champions to see Juu, a nice welcome back to Pattaya over the past couple days, so off home curtsy of Juu, then feet up and watch a DVD, the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Diana was not quite sure what to make of it, but about half way through gave up and we went to bed.
