We Did Not Have Much Time Yesterday Morning As We Were Going Fishing,

first to Friendship to buy some wine, then to the fishing tackle shop just past Friendship on the road that cuts through to Soi 17,
then we meet Nick and Maureen at Charlie's fishing park on Soi Nob Pawam, sorry about the spelling, but my spell checker does not pick up Thai road names, first fish of the day and back it went, to small for the pot,
now this is more like it, a nice sized tilipia,
Nick trying hard,
Diana and Maureen waiting for the midday meal,
wow! another rod bender,
and another one for the pot!
Ta-Taa also waiting for the midday meal,
Nick helping with another one,
and me unhooking it,
at the end of the day we took the three largest fish home, but as we packed our things up I noticed the first of this seasons jack fruits growing,
so I took this picture to give some idea of scale, I hope it will still be there next time we go fishing, if you have not seen one before they can eventually grow to 15 kilos or more,
then back to Nick and Maureen's where we had a delicious chicken casserole, followed by Diana's favorite, an ice cream coroneto,
when we arrived home there was a lovely smell in the air, every month or two theses flowers open at night, I do not have a clue what they are called, but they smell so nice,
this is the full sized bush at the front of the flower bed, then indoors for tea and biscuits and bed, a great day out for all, many thanks to Nick and Maureen, hopefully we will see you all tomorrow Saturday at 388.
