Sunday Already!
the weeks just seem to fly past,
so we were off to Sunday lunch at the Punch and Judy,
'Cheers!' from me,
when we arrived Diana commented that she was not very hungry so she would just have some egg fried rice, but as I ordered my roast lamb dinner she changed her mind and went for the roast,
and delicious it was too, the punch and Judy is getting more popular by the week, after we had finished eating we moved over to the bar for a after dinner drink as we were taking a table for six with just the two of us on it,
you can also sit outside, but we preferred the air conditioned interior,
next stop was at Juu's house, he has a large number of those expensive orchids we saw yesterday at the plant market,
some in flower,
the garden was looking a lot brighter as he had taken down three palm trees that were blocking out a lot of light,
his fish had grown even larger since we had last seen them,
to give you an idea of the two large fishes size the albino fish on the right is 30" long, the larger fish I am guessing must be in the 80 kilogram range, not bad for a fish that 5 years ago was just 6" long!
it's eyes reflect the light making them almost glow,
Juu also keeps some cichlids called 'flowerhorn' they have a large lump on the head which is desirable if you are buying one, these are not a natural fish, they have been man made by successive inbreeding,
Diana decided to try some local Thai food, various ingredients are placed in a leaf and eaten,
some of the ingredients, having tried this a few years ago, and some betel nut, I found that I liked neither so I left this to Diana to try,
then the kid from next door came wandering in, so of course everyone made a fuss of him,
as it was getting late we made a move for home, for a movie which tonight was Mega Piranha, it looked good on the cover but went downhill faster than a lead brick dropped from the tenth floor, not that I wish to be seen to be unkind to so many peoples valiant efforts, but the producers got the scale wrong so many times as the deadly shoal of fish went from 40 foot monsters to one foot long specimens, then back to eating submarines in three successive shots, well at least it appears that way, still watching a sub B movie like this makes you appreciate how good some of the so called B movies really are!
we next made a start on series two of Only Fools and Horses, the three episodes we watched were Long Legs of the Law, Ashes to Ashes and A Losing Streak, everyone so funny in it's own way, also there are a few pull up moments in the dialogue, when things get just a tad more serious, you just have to watch the series to see what I mean, then for us off to bed.
