Some pictures of Diana and Myself, where we now live and places around us, things that we find interesting, amusing or just plain weird!

It Is That Time Of Year Again,
when I have to take both bikes and the truck for their annual test,
the testing station is on the Sumkivitt highway just before the Bangkok Pattaya hospital,
every car or truck has to be tested after it is 7 years old, 5 years for bikes, the strange thing is so many cars and trucks, most well over 20 years old, seem to never have heard of this, but not wishing to be fined for not complying I do take the time and trouble to have them tested, then pay the several thousand baht in road tax, I guess that explains why so many cars and trucks out here have never been tested!
we then spent the rest of the day watching television, first Dorian Gray written by Oscar Wilde, actually called The Picture of Dorian Gray, the film tells the story of a corrupt young man, who somehow keeps his youthful beauty eternally, but a special painting gradually reveals his inner ugliness to all,
then an old horror favorite, Poltergeist, made in 1982 but it still has it's chilling moments,
back to another favorite, a Touch of Frost, Mind Games, DI Frost must deal with a desperate mother and solve a 20 year old missing persons case following the discovery of a teenage girl's remains, the good news is that we both guessed 'who done it' before the end of the DVD,

before bed a bit of Del Boy, first From Prussia With Love, followed by The Miracle of Peckham, then for us off to bed.
