First Thing And We Were Off To Drop Diana Off,

at the beauty shop,

 the We Care Clinic, whilst she was there, I had a few things to do,


 like stop off at the bank,


again! you can just see the sea, it is just beyond the Pattaya Beer Garden, where we will be having lunch later,


 as I went into the bank one of the security guards was having a chat with a local vendor,


our next port of call, but as usual I then went home and spent a bit more time on my stamps till Diana called to say her treatment was finished,


we then drove into Walking Street to park the bike, no sooner had we parked than Steve walked past, an almost impossible coincidence, we both said how many things meant that in just a few seconds either way we could have missed each other, strange,


 we both had to take a picture of the shrine on the way in to the bar,


 and one of a view along the bay,


 chicken and vegetables with rice for Diana,


 an Indian curry with rice for me,


 'Cheers!', from Steve and myself,


 a party of tourists returns from one of the islands,


 every one say Ah!


then home for a few DVDs, we watched the next in the Michael Palin travel box, Full Circle, for the first time since Great Railway Journeys his Billingham bag made a come back, but more of that later,


we both fancied a bit of a laugh, so what better than Monster Quest? it is so funny watching people looking for things that are plainly not there, not even a single hair! but the quest goes on, in one the team are looking for a wolfman, a wolf howls, the team immediately say it is the wolfman, but with out any actual proof could it have been say - a wolf?


even better a dead tree stump that has been burnt and charred allegedly by radiation and has given out poisonous gasses, scientists analyses the soil, trunk and bark, nothing unusual is found, now it gets creepy, what could have caused such damage? the team is bewildered, this can not be explained, all of this charring of the bark and stump - I wondered if they had thought of a lighting strike? such fun,

then almost like meeting an old friend, Michael Palin invites us along for the ride, this time Full Circle, but what a surprise, in Vladivostok Michael joins the Pacific Fleet Navy Choir and sings a song that I had sung when I was in Croydon Parish Choir, (we sung the English version), in Russian it is called Polushka Pole, I think Diana was surprised I knew it, the video clip has a bit of a long intro, but great fun to watch Michael when he is singing,


we rounded of the evening with another from Midsomer Murders, Secrets and Spies, it was like Baranby meets MI5, spy's and spooks everywhere, Brenda Packard tells Barnaby that Allenby House, owned by testy ex-spymaster Malcolm Frazer, is a safe house for agents, but after a series of murders that look like they have been done by an animal is the house really safe? then for us off to bed.
