After Finishing The Blog,

we went out shopping,
to Friendship super market,it was packed as usual with motorbikes spilling out of the parking area,
so I took another shot of the shrine in the car park as we were near to it,
we watched a bit of television and had a few games of cards in the afternoon then out for our evening meal, on to Second Road,
now new and completed and running both ways, we made our way to the Royal Indian Hut,
where we were lucky again to find the table in the window free,
Diana was wearing her new earrings and dress,
'Cheers!' from me,
and from Diana, the food was excellent, I have found out that there is nothing 'on the go' as it were, everything ordered is cooked fresh, it takes a little time, but we enjoy watching the world go by on Second Road, the meal with 4 glasses of wine came to 1,005 baht but 480 was for the wine, nice place to eat,
as we made our way to Walking Street I spotted this mobile food cart, this is the sellers side of the cart,
on the way through Soi Blues Factory we spotted Mark having his evening meal,
then into a very crowded Walking Street, as we were out we decided to go for a walk to the end of the street then make our way home,
to the great amusement of this youngster the trader was selling bubble machines,
the more the merrier!
Diana liked them as well, I almost bought one myself!
the big tree shrine is still here,
I still remember walking past this in 1982 when I first came out here,
then who should we bump into? none other than Grieg who now works at the Roxy and Hooter's, well we had to go in and have a drink or three! then home feet up and watch some television,
well at least I did, Diana decided to do 30 minutes or so hula-hooping and on a full stomach!
then Diana decided to take our picture,
whilst we watched Robin Hood: Men in Tights, so funny especial the sight gags that Blinkin misses, the legend had it coming... find out where Robin Hood put his Little John, what made Will Scarlet, and what did Friar Tuck into his tights that Maid Marion all of a quiver?
then another couple of comedy's, Tremors, a small town gradually becomes aware of a strange creature which picks off people one by one, but what is this creature, and where is it? at the same time, a seismologist is working in the area, she detects -tremors, followed by Tremors II: Aftershocks, when an army of Graboids - giant, carnivorous underground worms - threaten the Petromaya oil refinery in Mexico, its owners call on Earl Bassett, who once helped kill four of the creatures in Perfection, Nevada, having squandered the money that came from his resulting celebrity status, Earl is convinced by the $50,000-a-head bounty offered,
then to round off the evening, another from Tales, Nothin' Short of Highway Robbery, Newt and Marcie are driving through the desert and stop off at a gas station, they are told by Harry, the proprietor, that their car is in need of extensive repairs and suggest that, while he fixes it, they have a meal at his wife's cafe, the bill from the cafe and the garage is nothing short of highway robbery, then off to bed.

Looks like a fabulous time, I hula hoop but before dinner and keep it going for around 5 minutes at a time.
