We Started The Day At Jack's Insurance Office,

to pay our BUPA health insurance, just to make our day whilst there one of the charming assistants, said 'oh I was just going to send you this' and handed me an envelope, 6,800 baht bill for house contents insurance, it never rains it pours! so it was back home and a return trip to pay that, on our way back the first time a lady riding one of these braked hard, the front wheel locked up and over she went, luckily she was not travelling too fast, but this is the fourth or fifth time I have seen these smaller than normal sized wheeled bikes have their front wheel slide from under them, Mark has seen this happen a few times too, as if to reinforce the fact when he had his bike serviced there was a line of theses bikes waiting for damaged panels to be replaced in the garage he went to,

so back to see Jack again, I forgot to mention another Christmas card arrived yesterday, posted this time in the Philippines a week before Christmas,

when we arrived home I had another look at the bike, it really was covered in cement, so I decided not to wait for the rainy season to clean it,

it looks so nice when it is wet,

oh my back!

and there it is, nearly as good as new, just 50,000 kilometers on the clock so it still has a long way to go - I hope!

I also gave the other bike a quick clean, well I did not want it to sulk,

all to soon it was time for our evening meal,

Diana is wearing her matching dress and earrings,

to the Royal Indian Hut on Second Road, just along from the V. C. Hotel on the same side,

we were joined by Mr. Tony,

the food here as I have mentioned before is cooked as it is ordered, so there is a wait, but it is worth it, the food is delicious,

'Cheers!' from us,

we then went for a walk along the road that leads to Walking Street past stalls selling fruit,

and pancakes,

and you have guessed it! dresses,

that one will do nicely,

Walking Street was packed,

we were going to Boots the chemist, or pharmacy as they say out here,

I just love looking at the neon lights,

and here we are, I wanted to get Diana some anti-bacterial soap,

more neon lights, on the way back one of the staff told us that Juu was in Champions, well we just had to go in and say hello,

then back to 388, Diana is looking at the new plants she bought a couple of weeks ago,

she has decided to grow her nails, so of course there is now a mountain of nail polish and nail polish remover in both bedroom and living room,

whilst she was painting her nails we watched another Frost, this one titled Paying the Price, Pauline Venables has been running a successful party/costume store in Denton with her sister Sue, Pauline brings home Karl Edwards, a divorced ex-con and announces he will be moving in after they are married, things go awry when Pauline is brutally kidnapped by sociopath Graham McCardy, who binds Pauline and demand 30,000 in ransom, but will it be paid or is there worse to come? then for us off to bed.
