The Blog Was A Bit Late Yesterday,

this was why,


 first thing in the morning a truck from the power company arrived,


 checking each of the transformers along the street,

 but this was the one that seemed to have a problem,




 as a second truck and gang of workers arrived,


 by now it was midday, the house was hot with out a fan going, remembering how nice the food was in the Punch & Judy it was to there we went for breakfast/lunch,


 it was nearer lunch time than breakfast so I had a beer,


 some Thai food for Diana, a ham and English mustard sandwich for myself,


 the bar area is large, 


 and does not suffer from lots of pillars like so many places do,


 'Cheers!', from me, we read the daily papers from the UK, before making our way back home,


 shortly after we did the electrical work finished as the power was returned to us at last,


 a shower and change, this time not out of a bucket and we were out to the night market,


 one of the shrines near the middle of the market,


 the sky was a little overcast, but it did not rain,


 opposite the bar this evening a stall selling new trucks,


 the food aisles starting to fill up already,


 though the clothes aisles were not so busy,




 this stall looked pretty,


 selling I guess hair grips,


 so many styles,


 and colours,


 I now started to make my way back to the bar to wait for Diana,


stopping off at this food stall to buy a couple of limes to go into the top of my San Miguel bottle, some times the bar has then some times not, but for the sake of 5 baht I buy a couple for myself and any one else that wants one just in case the bar does not have them,


one San Miguel and lime, 'Cheers!', there was only Diana and myself here this evening so we had a quiet drink just the two of us, romantic!


home and feet up for Moonraker, this time Bond is blasting off into space, a spaceship traveling through space is mysteriously hi-jacked, it appears Hugo Drax is behind it all, the good news is that he meets up with metal-toothed Jaws once again,


we finished the first disc in the World War 1 in Colour two disc set, there is so much footage of film that I had never seen before, although to be truthful some of it is used a couple of times, but with an easy going commentary with personal anecdotes from surviving protagonists, compelling viewing,


HD at its best, Yellowstone is a real treat, I quote from the blurb, 'it (Yellowstone), is the most extensive thermal area on earth with more than 10,000 boiling springs, fumaroles and bubbling mud pots and more geysers than the rest of the world put together, Yellowstone’s wildlife faces extreme challenges of the seasons and has to brave temperatures 40 degrees below zero, to live through raging forest fires or to fight to the death for the right to breed,' we are looking forward to watching some more amazing footage from this disc tomorrow, but with that we were off to bed.
