We Woke Up Nice And Early At Jay And Precil's,

we tried to leave the house without waking them, but no luck, my truck is going in for it's 40,000 kilometer service in a few weeks and a new battery was top of the list, but it failed this morning, so we had to wake up Jay and buy a set of jump leads, so much for the quite start then! but on the way back I took a couple of shots of the new shops going up including, if the banner is to be believed a Jollibee, which Diana is looking forward to,

last time we went past drainage tubes were all over the place, but now all buried and I guess work will start on the foundations soon,

a car park for interested buyers has been laid out, so it looks like it will take place, if funds were short I do not think it would have gotten this far,

then along to the battery shop on Sumkavit, a 85 amp hour Bosch no maintenance battery 3,800 baht, which I thought a bit expensive, but talking to Phil later that day he mentioned he had paid over £90 for a similar one in the UK 5 years ago, in any event I was not going to far without one!

next stop Lukdod, the gift shop, Diana wanted to buy some presents for her brothers and sisters, Mum and Dad's had already been bought, below is their card,

if you want souvenirs of Thailand this is the place to go,

and this is the view of the front of the building, do not let it's apparent lack of size fool you, it is huge,

later Mark called round just as Diana was cooking a couple of pork chops for our evening meal, she was also going to cook some British chips in the chip maker I had brought over from the UK,

pork chops almost ready, after supper Mike and Riza called in on their way home from shopping, so a few games of cribbage, when they had left it was the second part of the House of Cards trilogy, we are now in to the middle part "To Play The King" great entertainment, then off to bed at 3 in the morning.
