Happy Birthday To Diana!

she wanted to keep her birthday low key,

 but now it is presents time!

 smallest first from me,

 Diana knows that the two presents I had bought her had been in the safe for some time,

 but she did not know that I had bought then when we were in Cambodia, a pair of earrings, 

 to match the ring and necklace I had bought her there,

next the medium sized gift,

 a matching bracelet,

 I have to say it was a major job keeping them away from Diana, then having the boxes sent out from the UK, wrapping them and all of the time keeping them secret,

 next the big present from Nick and Maureen, Diana had been shaking it before today, but did not have a clue what was inside,

 a jewelry box,

 beautifully inlaid, Diana also wanted to say thank you to Mr. Tony for the chocolates,

 then for me down to the bank, again!

 then home to pick up Diana followed by a trip to the money exchange,

 guess where next? that's right, the gold shop, our annual trade up,

 this time from 2 baht to 3 baht, nice it looks too,

 home and change, out again,

 to the hell hole known as the Central Festival motorcycle park, the planners seriously under estimated how many people use bikes out here, parking is not the problem, the problems start when you want to leave and have to move 3 or 4 other bikes to get yours out, still it gives the attendents something to laugh about as they watch you stuggle as they sit a few bikes away,

but having arrived were here to watch Prometheus, a team of scientists travels through the universe on the spaceship "Prometheus" on a voyage to investigate Alien life forms, I can best describe it as another Aliens movie, but with a much more complicated plot and special effects, scary in a number of places, also lots of slime and goo, arrange to eat after rather than before watching would be my advice,

 which is what we did, arriving home a shower and a change and we were of to Pan Pan, this outlet is located at the crossing of Tappraya Road with Teprasit Road at the beginning of Jomtien, (there are two others in the area),

 Diana looking as lovely as ever wearing all of her jewelry from Cambodia,

 the restaurant was quiet empty when we arrived,

 one of the reasons Diana wanted to came here was the selection of desserts,

 most with fresh cream,

 all of them so tempting!

 Diana chose spaghetti carbonara, smoked salmon for me with freshly made hot bread,

 the good news was that I had one of those carafes of wine that kept filling up, 'Cheers!'

 next our main courses, a huge pizza for Diana and a steak for me,

 when I say huge, it was,

 she tucked into straight away,

 after a suitable break our desserts arrived, whilst I was distracted having our picture taken,

 Diana had already started on her dessert, look where I am pointing, gone in a flash before I could take a picture!

 Diana had tiramisu, I had torta Brazil, they were delicious, the meal for the two of us came to 2,800 baht, a great night out for both of us, especialy birthday girl Diana,

this is the view of Pan Pan from the other side of the road,

if you come along Teprasit Road you will see this big television screen at the traffic lights, turn right there and the restaurant is on the left, next for us home feet up a bit of television then for us we were off to bed.
