I Woke Up Thinking About Getting Back To The Train Set,

but no sooner had I finished the blog, than Phil called round, followed by Mark and Mick, so it was tea and coffee all round, Phil had to pop out for an hour or so, then called back in, meanwhile a fellow fish keeper Hans called round, we both used to go to the live fish market in Bangkok, but he now only stays here for a few weeks every 6 months or so, then all to soon it was glad rags for Wednesday night out,

Diana in one of her new dresses,

first stop the Bier Kitchen, steak and mushrooms for Diana, chicken curry for me,

then to Dang's bar on the corner of Walking Street and Soi Diamond, but a major problem, it was closed! this was bad news for all concerned, it was open last week, we were also told it would be open tomorrow, but for now because of a problem with the police, no lights, music or booze! it must be a small problem, typically if some thing major happens the bar is closed for 30 days, so I guess a out of date licence was the problem that can be fixed at City Hall in a day or so, we will see what happens next week,

so we went to the bar opposite on the same Soi facing the road, then Russ from the US arrived, normally he is out here once a year or so with his brother Mark, but this year Mark could not make it,

whilst chatting Diana decided to by some bugs to snack on, the bug stall was right behind us, not a pleasant smell when being cooked, both Russ and Myself were quite relived when the stall moved on!

then Big Jim arrived he also has knows Russ for many years,

"Cheers!" from both of us,

then a quick walk through Walking Street to Champions, a light rain had just started, but by the time we left Champions it must have turned into a tropical downpour of biblical proportions, the streets were awash although it had stopped raining, Juu very kindly gave us a lift home, meanwhile Russ had made a move, he has a lot to see in the time he is here! then for us off to bed.
