After Having No Success Yesterday,

at finding some small gravel for our miniature cactus garden,

 in garden outlets, we decided to try aquatic stores, above is what we were looking for,

 one of the stalls gave us a handful of gravel but they did not have anymore for sale, speaking of cactus there is a love song about cactus by Jake Thackery, whose wife falls for one, a few lines from the song,

My Snow White, my Aphrodite, my pocket Venus!
‘Twas then that this venomous thing came between us.
When we had so much to delect and distract us
Oh why did we cherish a perishing cactus?

At first she just felt sorry for this horrid, squalid, lumpish parasite.
A rash compassion
For her feelings got beyond her. Every day she grew still fonder
Till this sickly, tickly, little squirt had got the household quashed:
Rent unpaid; my tea not made; my shirts, my socks not washed.

My poor heart was bleeding from multiple fractures:
A dupe and a boob and a cuckold to a cactus.
She gave up her duties, her food and her slumber
For this potted hedgehog, this son of a cucumber!

a cactus,

 so off for a tour of aquatic shops, the first had a number of bags of gravel/stones outside, but all too big or artificially coloured,

 inside it was just the same, this shop is on the road going from the Dolphin roundabout to Nakhula,

 a few rainclouds in the distance,

 we went past the big tree in the centre of town,

 we then left the new part of town,

 before hitting the old wooden buildings that once was the old town, but the couple of aquatic stores that were once on the way here had gone,

 as we were going past Sunny Online we called in for our tickets, we are going to visit Diana's family in the run up to Christmas,

we then called in at another aquatic shop on Third Road, it was quite new, but alas the same as before, all the of the gravel was too big or artificially coloured, so the hunt goes on, on Friday we will have a look again in Soi Bukaow market and the two aquatic shops at the weekend market in the evening,

then home, after our evening meal and a few episodes of Swamp Loggers a new series started Bering Sea Gold, it looks like it pays better with bigger finds than on land, but there are far fewer days that gold can be collected because of bad weather, the seas have to be calm for the dredgers to leave port, last thing it was another episode of Waking the Dead, series 9, Care, a seven year old from a care home, Clare Somers was abducted, thirteen years later she is found murdered, her eyes gouged out, the abductor also gouged out the eyes on the corpse of Robert Fenchurch, the care home supervisor who tried to stop Clare's kidnapping, but who is the abductor and is he the bagman? with that we were off to bed.
