Up Early For A Start On The Railway,

after hoovering up the surplus ballast,

I used masking tape to remind me where to reapply it where it did not glue well,

Diana had mixed up some green/brown paint to make the ballast look 'weathered',

I had a go as well, I had to paint the bits that Diana could not reach,

and keep my fingers off my clothes!

on this part of the track 3 down 1 to go,

starting to look 'aged' now,

this end is now completed, tomorrow back to more ballasting,

then time to go out for a meal,

Eric had very kindly invited Mark and Ancshai, Diana and myself out for a meal, we meet up at the Pagoda in the Jomtien Complex, first a complimentary starter of potato salad,

Anchasai making her mind up, there were so many things to chose from,

Mark and Eric having the same problem,

the starters arrive, prawn cocktails,

avocado and ham for Mark,

whilst Eric had prawns wrapped in bacon,

then the main course, stuffed chicken breasts for Diana, Mark and myself had lamb shank, whilst Eric had a steak, the girls settled for ice cream each, the boys coffee, many thanks to Eric for his generosity for treating us, the next day he is off to China so 'Bon Voyage' from all of us, when we arrived home we were going to watch a movie or two, but as we switched the TV on it was on channel 60, showing a series called I, Detective, so we watched a few of those then off to bed.
