I Awoke Without The Headache Today,

which was great,

as usual Diana started the day looking at her games and increasing the size of her cyber city and looking at our blog, just in case I have made a mistake or three,

then we were out and about, first stop the bike shop, a quick tyre pressure check, it is surprising how having a lower tyre pressure can eat up petrol and make the bike appreciably slower, not that you notice as the tyre slowly goes down but when brought up to its normal pressure when you first get back on the bike it feels like a much faster machine, I do not know why but out here for some reason all of the bike tyres, even when they have been replaced with new tyres and inner tubes always seem to go down after just a couple of weeks or so,

then to Casa Pascal, we eat there a couple of days ago with Mr. Tony and thought we would give their coffee, sandwich and cake afternoon a try, it is just in front of the Ruen Thai restaurant on Second Road,

they also have a second branch in Jomtien, the Poseidon, we have eaten there before but not for some time,

but back to Casa Pascal, the sandwiches and cakes are laid out on trays, with just 3 or 4 being made at a time, so they are always fresh,

unlimited trips to the tables for fruit drinks or milk plus tea or coffee,

mine, all mine!

some of the sandwich selection,

and six of the 10 or more desserts on display,

second plate for Diana, she tried the apricot and custard tart, which she pronounced as delicious,

and second plate for me,

open salami, roast pork, accompanied by a tuna, cheese and tomato,

Diana said the apricot was delicious, so much so she had to eat another one, as well as two more sandwiches, with some fresh fruit to finish, for me I was full so I did not try any of the desserts, just another cup of coffee, what a way to spend a quiet afternoon, newspapers were provided, endless tea, coffee, sandwiches and cake, in a high quality air conditioned restaurant, all for 135 baht, including VAT,

and if you think that is a good deal, it gets even better, there is a loyalty card, you receive 1 point for every 10 baht spent, after seven meals the points earned are deducted from your eighth meal, what a deal! the afternoon coffee and sandwich menu starts from 14.00 till 17.00,

a bit small to read but I thought I would put their brochure on the blog,

the other side of it mentions the Poseidon at Jomtien, but the description is for Casa Pascal, we both had more than enough to eat, for the price and surrounds/service we really do not think Casa Pascal can be beaten for the morning breakfast or the sandwich afternoon, but if you know some where better let us know!

next stop the bank, where does all the money go?

after returning home we switched channels catching a number of films half way through till in the evening we settled down for another few episodes of History Mysteries, this time The tower, the Queen and the outlaws, John and Adele Richardson are fascinated by a local legend that Mary Queen of Scots rode across their land and stopped at the now-ruined Pele tower on their farm, the Richardsons want Jonathan to create an image of the tower of Queen Mary’s time, and for the team to find out if they had a Royal visitor, scouring the archives, Nick uncovers dramatic proof of the Reivers’ exploits, and checks out the family history of the Turnbulls, who owned the tower at the time of Mary’s alleged ride and were her allies, finally, his hunt turns up an official record of Queen Mary’s journey, She would definitely have passed the Richardsons’ Pele tower, next on the teams quest, Puzzle at the palace, Kathryn Gibson, owner of Pen y Bryn, has spent many years establishing a link between her house and Llewellyn, the last Welsh Prince of Wales, but she has never been able to find conclusive proof, solving this mystery could rewrite the history books, in the archives Nick finds the crucial evidence that proves that Kathryn is right, Pen y Bryn was the site of Llewellyn’s Palace, so history will have to be rewritten!

we then started on a series we have been looking forward to for some time, Only Fools and Horses, we have bought the 7 series box set, we watched the first four, Big Brother, Go West Young Man, Cash and Curry, lastly Second Time Around, we both laughed so much, but occasionally we paused the DVD as I explained to Diana, what a 'unemployed gas light lighter waiting for the return of gas street lights' was, great fun, then for us off to bed.
