so on with yesterdays post,
first stop the bank, again, but I needed some extra money this month as you will see later,
then back to pick up Diana,
and then to Pattaya Tai, you know that one, it runs between Wat Chai and the school,
near Second Road, with the daily market in it,
there are lots of clothes shops on it,
a few selling flowers,
with a number of stalls selling food,
with seating areas behind, but it was not any those we came for,
we traded in the bracelet we bought two years ago, paid a little extra to buy her a bigger bracelet for this year Christmas present, sale complete we naturally were given next years calender free of charge,
Diana was in a tiz so I crossed the road before her,
next stop Walking Street for a beer, I needed one for the shock of how much the price of gold had risen!
it was really blowing today, in fact for the past few days we have not even had a fan going it has been so cold,
I ordered a beer whilst Diana had a coke, there are still no diet drinks available here in Pattaya, due to the floods I guess,
we watched one of the speed boats on its way to the islands, then decided to make a move,
also Diana was hungry, so a bite to eat for her,
she also wanted to try on her new Christmas present,
as Diana said, 'it is a good job you bought it now, it might have gone up by next week!'
back home then to the market, we had run out of fresh fruit,
a few posts ago I mentioned a bird that Thai people keep, similar to keeping a singing canary in the UK, I did not know what it was called,
whilst Diana was shopping I took the opportunity to have a closer look at them as the owner cleaned their cages,
each cage looks like it is hand made from bamboo and rattan,
this particular type of Bulbul has a red cheek, which I think is that only one in the group that does,
they like fresh fruit amongst other things, which of course out here is not a problem, as are insects, which it appears they also like,
still no sign of Diana,
so another picture of Pycnonotus jocosus,
meanwhile the cages were being cleaned one by one,
with a lot of care,
three cleaned so far,
Diana came back then realised she had forgotten some thing,
all five cages cleaned, birds fed and now singing,
when we arrived home I noticed another flower bud on the stalk that had just flowered,
