We Decided To Go To The Pictures Today,

we were going to watch Ice Age 4: Continental Drift, in 3D,


 although it had been raining all morning just as we left the house it stopped,

we made our way to the hell hole known as the Central Festival motorbike park, I know I go on about it but look at this, just one of the many 'pens' in the parking area, it is a bit difficult to see but the two bikes in the centre of the picture are both totally blocking the only way into the pen, you can see the safety metal rails either side of them, so if your bike is the one near the far wall you will have to move at least three bikes into the narrow passage way to get your bike out, but the good news is that instead of two parking attendants sitting on parked bikes laughing at you as you struggle to get your bike out there is now only one, so you get laughed at in mono rather than stereo! 

we had a look around before the film started, then popcorn and diet coke, the film began,

and funny it was too,  Ice Age 4 Continental Drift was for us so funny, for so many reasons, at last we get to see Sid's family and Scrat's nutty pursuit of the cursed acorn almost brings the world to its end, great fun, but for some reason it open a day earlier in Thailand and a few weeks earlier in 60 other countries than the UK or USA, why? I do not have a clue,

 after the laughter fest we were both hungry, so again to MK Restaurant, Diana took advantage of the two for one melon slushy offer,

 I settled for a small beer,

 a complimentary mushroom soup is included, we ordered the large plate of crispy pork, roasted duck and honey pork,

 also plain rice and a green noodle soup with chicken, pork and vegetables,

 we sat in one of the window seats, great fun if you like watching people as they go by, 'Cheers!'

 then the same as the last time we were here,

 the staff started a synchronised dance routine,

it just lasted a couple of minutes, with a final bow the show was over, the meal came to 523 baht, it did not look a lot but we were both full, then home to 388, feet up and watch some DVDs,

Prime Suspect disc 4, we have the complete series so it is easier to list them as each disc, The Lost Child was the first, Jane Tennison's promotion to Superintendent turns out to put her in charge of an investigation and search for an abducted baby, the prime suspect seems to be a man who was a child molester recently released from a clinic, emotions get in the way and terrible mistakes are made,

we followed that with Prime Suspect disc 5, Inner Circles, Tennison investigates a sex murder, but she uncovers the crime's link to the goings on with the local municipal government,

Prime Suspect, for some reason this is also listed as disc 5, Errors of Judgement, Tennison is on a new beat and is investigates the killing of a drug runner, as Tennison rankles that her subordinates accuse her of sleeping her way to the top, she begins an affair with her married supervisor,  

it was by now late, or I should say early in the morning, but we just had to watch one more, disc 6, Scent of Darkness, we saw in a previous episode George Marlow go down for a series of murders, but now after a book claiming his innocence is publish a new series of murders takes place with details that only prisoner George Marlow could know, he is inside so is he innocent as claimed? with that we were off to bed.
