First Stop Fascino,

I was after some alum and some sodium alginate,

in case you are wondering why, alum is used as a mordant in dyeing paper and material, it makes the object to be dyed more receptive, sodium alginate, is used in cooking, it is a gelling agent, unfortunately Fascino does not sell either of them, although both are readily available in the UK they seem hard to find over here, 

but the trip did give us a chance to look at the newly completed 'swimming' dolphins going along Pattaya North Road,

 and nice they looked too,

 pity about the dirt still on the camera lens, I must take it in for repair,

also it gave us a chance to call in to see Tony at the Ducati dealership on Third Road, he is giving a few last instructions to this lucky new bike owner,

 mouthwatering to say the least,

 this is the one for me, the Monster 795, yours for 399,999 baht including 7% sales tax,

 even better the Diavel, like this one, the good news for Tony, two out of the 5 bikes are sold,

or how about this Diavel maybe in red and black?

 but for me the Monster 795 is just the ticket,

 next stop Friendship for a bit of shopping,

finally to Home Works, the stereo system has developed a slight hiss through some of the speakers, so I called in, hopefully a technician will call round on Thursday, I think a wire may be lose but I know if I start pulling wires around and there are so many of them it will all end in tears, so best leave it to the experts, then home feet up to watch the best evening on television as so many of the shows we like are aired first on Mondays, then at 01.30 in the morning we were off to bed.
