I Am A Bit Late With The Blog This Morning,

mainly because I woke with a bit of a head ache, it all started as I popped into the Punch and Judy for a larger and lime at lunch time, the flags and bunting outside getting for the big day on Friday,

then in the afternoon we were off for my late birthday party, Slim Jim, Maureen and Nick, along with Damon in the baht bus to Preecha,

just coincidentally we went past the Punch and Judy,

along the Sukumvit past the Floating Market,

this was supposed to be a shot of the elephant park, but I pressed the button too early or late, but caught the tricycle though!

here we all are at Preecha, Mike and Riza along with Mark and Anchisa made their own way here as did Mr.Tony, Juu and Dang, Brian and Sa along with Craig and Porn,

the last time we called here it was closed for refurbishment,

now everything is new and as bright as a button,

yummy!

we shall be seeing some of these later on,

and some of these!

not many customers but is still early, about 5.00 in the afternoon,

naturally we had to have a picture of the ladies,

then the food arrived,

and there was plenty of it,

some tom-yum-gung,

of course we also had seafood fried rice, prawn doughnuts and steamed prawns along with green mussels,

next course arriving soon,

another sunset in paradise,

garlic fried rock lobster next,

'Cheers!' from me in my birthday shirt,

Mr. Tony was demonstrating a magic trick, but I was too far away to see how it worked out,

next course fish,

I just had to take another shot of the sunset,

and then it was gone!

Mark, Mike and Slim Jim,

Cheers!

Porn and Craig,

we also had some plates of steamed crab, I must admit I cheated a bit, we also ordered some crabs legs that had already been striped of their shells, just eat without all of the fiddling about trying to get to the meat,

then home to 388, everybody had been so kind, my vodka cellar was refilled, I had my birthday shirt on and now another present,

a railway engineers pocket watch from Slim Jim, and before any one says, the diet starts tomorrow!

well we all had a great time, a few more drinks at 388 and our friends made their way home, for us off to bed, 61 years old, strange I do not feel 61 but I am, so there you have it, once again many thanks to everyone helping me into my frail old age, the many presents which are all appreciated, and here's looking forward to my 62nd!
