It Was Raining All Day

what was worse it got even heavier towards the evening, but not to worry we just settled down to watch a couple of movies, after watching 28 Days Later it was on to 28 Weeks Later, the plague of zombies has died out so London is being recolonised, but, you guessed it, some one who appears to be free from infection starts the outbreak again which then spreads to Europe, good gripping movie although you guess the outcome, but what I liked best was the fact that all of the infected people run at 'normal' speed not just lurching about so you can dodge past them,

now District 9 is a real off the wall movie, superb special effects by the way, a spaceship hovers over South Africa, beneath it a township of the aliens is formed, a decision after nearly 30 years is made to move the alien township a couple of hundred miles away as the new comers do not respect property or ownership of goods, but one of the officials of the move opens a canister by mistake and starts to transform, then the fun begins!

then time to change and off for our meal, our first Indian meal since our return from the UK, it was poring down with rain as we climbed aboard the Secrets taxi,

and where else? to Ali Baba in Central Road,

both Diana and myself enjoy the food here and the ambiance, lots of little things and pictures to look at,

for a starter we had poppadoms, then chicken chat and a prawn puri, both of which we shared, both starters were really the size of a main course,

'Cheers!' from both of us,

then for the main course chicken tikka massalla, dry chicken tikka and peas pilaow rice, with 3 glasses of wine, one coke and one water 1,400 baht, a tad expensive perhaps but the food was so nice it was worth every baht,

then home for the last out of our Hitchcock box The Birds, great film, Diana had not seen it before and was captivated by it, as a bonus Alfred was so easy to spot in this one, a couple from Tales of the Unexpected, then off to bed.
