The Day Started Out Well,


I started the previous days post and settled down to wait for my repaired computer to arrive as promised,

 meanwhile outside there was a light shower,

 then a movement just at the edge of my vision made me look over to the right,

 there he was again, the frog,


 he seemed totally dry,

 which was strange as it was still raining outside,

I still have not worked out how he gets in, 

 but speaking to Mr. Tony he had another idea,

he has a frog that lives inside his house, then goes outside when it rains, this may be true, no snakes, cats or other creatures that could harm the frog makes it a great place to live, then when it rains out it goes, the problem is it still does not explain where there is a hole somewhere for him to come back in again after feeding outside,

so back out to our small garden for him today, again! the day then took a turn for the worse, my computer had not arrived by 1.00 in the afternoon so I called Wattana Computers, I was told it would not be here till tomorrow morning, what a fool I had been, believing that having had my computer for 10 days to replace a hard drive and power supply it would be delivered when they said, more annoying was that they must have known this for some time but never bothered to call and say they would not be here,

 we had been waiting in for them as we had some shopping to do, so off to the market,
 just at the edge of the market this construction is a bar-b-q,

 I guess this is what would be known as an industrial sized unit,

 cooking three catfish,

 and here are some that were done earlier,

 some potatoes for us,

 plenty of fresh vegetables on offer,

 Diana is going to make a prawn cocktail as a starter for this evening,

 so carefully hand pick a few, some for tonight and some for the freezer for next week,

 the aisles were still a bit wet from this mornings rain,

 we also fancied some fresh pineapple for dessert,

 and a few lychee's to nibble on for later,

 then one foodstuff I had never seen before, whilst I had seen frogs for sale I had never seen tadpoles, well small frogs but still with their tails,

 Diana fancied a spicy snack,

 lots of things on sticks to chose from, all covered in a spicy sauce,

 then the stall next door selling sweet cakes to take away the taste,

 this was another king sized bar-b-q, but much better constructed than the last one,

and a bit taller too! then home for our evening meal and a few programmes from the satellite,

feet up for a few more from Waking the Dead Series 2, we enjoyed then so much, but these like the last suffered from huge holes in the plot, a gunman on foot starts walking from the city to the heart of the countryside by the time he arrives it is now pitch black, but a police car from the country police station setting out at the same time is the last to arrive! the good news is that the episodes are all about 90 minuets long meaning that the plots can become quiet complicated, but are in fact fairly easy to follow, I only hung three innocent people the whole evening through! we stayed up till just past 02.00 in the morning, I wondered if the computer was going to arrive tomorrow and with that thought we were off to bed.
