Keith called round as arranged,

it was time to pay for my yearly subscription for the monitoring of our burglar alarm, so far it has not been used, I guess as any would be intruder can see the sign, strobe light and klaxon so hopefully would pick on a unalarmed house, so a few coffees and a chat and all was done, 12,000 baht for 1 years monitoring, for anybody thinking of an alarm the box of bits is roughly 35-40,000, that is the dialer, keypad, battery, etc plus 625 baht for every door or window that opens, some may think a bit expensive but for me it is worth it for the peace of mind, the company is called ESC, phone number is 038 489 290 mobile 081385 5281, and no I am not on commission!

we popped round to see Mick and Mass, it is so nice that they have a house rather than a hotel room, later Mark called in to say Hi, all to soon it was time to go,

Walking Street was a bit crowded but mainly with tour groups,

take them away and it was quite to say the least,

our evening meal at the Bier Kitchen,

steaks for both of us 488 baht including soda and a water,

hoping for a busy high season the Lady's Shadow is now having a 'soft' opening, just next to Polo, the grand opening is on the 20th,

and soon to open Baccara,

but for us it was to Soi Diamond then upstairs to Heaven Above,

after a few there on to Sweethearts to see Grieg and all of the ladies there, then our final resting place Champions, Big Jim also called so the girls were all over him, he brings a few lolly pops over from the States every year so he is Mr. popular!

then the walk back to the motorbike taxi's, considering it it nearly Christmas and it is about midnight the place was deserted,

finally home, the jasmine smelling as sweet as ever, then tea, medals and a good nights kip!
