We Were Up Early As I Wanted To Go To Dot Com,

parking the bike nearby is always a problem, so we arrived at 10.30, just as it opens, this is the side door, the problem is that the doors open at 10.30 but only about 60% of the stalls inside are open then, we wanted to buy a water squirter thing for the bathroom as our one had a leak, but the shop in the basement that sells them does not open till 11.00, so upstairs to buy a couple of horror DVD's for Diana,

10.30 and already there are hardly any parking places, I also wanted to buy a memory stick, then on the way back we needed some frozen fish food, so a quick call into the fish and cheep (bird) shop, Diana liked the pretty in pink dog house,

over the past year a few of our fish have gone to the goldfish bowl in the sky, so whilst we were at the shop we bought a few replacements,

this is the memory stick we bought 16 kit-kats 1,050 baht,

then we settled down to watch the next episode of Our Century,

again there was so much of it that I had not seen before, I should point out that back in the UK if ever I saw that a program featuring 'old' footage was on I would always watch it, so I was surprised that there is so much unseen to me footage on these DVD's,

then it was time for the weekend market on Thepprisit, we were a bit later today so most of the stalls were already up and running,

it looked like it was going to rain so a lot of stalls had already put up their umbrellas,

ladies if you want to be a little different the one in the middle is for you! and do not forget the fingernails,

plenty to chose from,

some of the stalls selling secondhand dresses,

by now I had walked down to the plant and livestock section,

a nice orchid, though I must say I an not a fan of the yellow/green flower that it has,

now this is more like it,

there were also lots of these climbing plants,

a close up of the flower,

one of the many shops selling pet accessories,

a huskie, Diana calls them 'Devil dogs' because of their eyes,

for some reason she finds blue eyed dogs frighting,

I have seen lights like these in Bangkok, but not here in the market before,

I bought Diana a couple of dresses here, she likes the style but most of the ones we have seen have been very expensive, or the material was totally see through, but theses were the right price and made of a better quality material,

and of course Sai Jai was there, she had to move her pitch a little as someone had hired the one she was on last week,

whilst Mick, Mike and myself sat at the bar the girls did some shopping,

then the Boys In Brown arrived, so Mass and myself had to have our picture taken,

then Micks turn,

I remember as a kid there was a song about the laughing policeman,

they were there at the market giving out questionnaires about the service,

then Sai Jai called over to thank us for the pictures we dropped in last week,

then home to eat, sushi for me,

and roasted chicken feet for Mick, Mike had eaten already,

we then settled down to watch Real Life Heroes, another really for us, interesting DVD, then our friends left and it was time for bed.
