I Still Can Not Believe Sunday Has Come Round So Fast,


but it has,


 so this week off to the Punch & Judy, Diana looking as lovely as ever, then we were off,

 I noticed this gold and black Playboy mini bike outside, some one has spent a lot of time and trouble on it,

only 199 baht if you fancy a pint and a burger with chips, seems like a good deal to me,

 we meet up with Mr. Tony, he had the pate for starters, whilst Diana and myself shared a prawn cocktail,

then on to our main courses, Diana had oven baked lasagna, layers of pasta, homemade beef ragu and bechemal sauce and topped with parmesan and mozzarella cheese,

 for Mr. Tony sheppard’s pie, oven baked minced lamb and seasonal vegetables, topped with mashed potatoes,

 roast lamb and Yorkshire pudding for myself,

 'Cheers!'

 I should have mentioned that Mr. Tony had cheese on top of his sheppard’s pie, also a helping of HP sauce,

then home feet up and watch a few DVDs, naturally a couple of chocolates for dessert as well,

 what better way of spending a Sunday afternoon than watching an old classic? this time for us Doctor Zhivago, the story is narrated by Zhivago's half brother Yevgraf, who has made his career in the Soviet Army, it set against the backdrop of the Bolshevik Revolution and the horrors that it made, a love story but the film is more than that, great movie,

then a trip back in time, but light years ahead in special effects, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, we had watched it before, I mentioned I really liked the surreal scene on the salt flats, good fun indeed,

 

to round off our evening some more of the Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, so many funny lines, in case you did not know Reggie's middle name is Iolanthe, which is I believe from Gilbert and Sullivan's "Iolanthe", or "The Peer and the Peri", a satiric operetta, Iolanthe is a fairy who dared to marry a mortal man, banished from the dominion of the magical creatures, Iolanthe was forced to leave her husband and raised her son, the play opened at opened at the Savoy Theatre on November 25, 1882, and ran for 398 performances, a marvel at its time as the Savoy Theatre was the first theatre to use electricity to light its auditorium rather than gas lighting which was used everywhere else at the time and later it was also used to light the stage, also the fairies could use wands that had lights at the end of them to great effect, with that we said our goodbyes to Mr. Tony, then for us we were off to bed.
