First Thing,

and we were out and about,

 to Big C in Central Road,

 we had some shopping to do there,

 but of course had to stop at Swenson's first, I went for the normal strawberry ice cream,

 Diana decided on a Christmas super sized special,

 and very nice they both were too,

 next stop the Lukdod Shop in Soi Youmae Lane just off of Central Pattaya Road, it is the road that runs along side the Big C we had just visited,

 it is the souvenir shop in Pattaya bar none, from tiny trinkets to pieces of furniture this is the place to go, even more amazing it has grown bigger than the last time we were here, it is huge,

 we then drove along Pattaya North Road to Fascino for a few tablets, we also bumped into Keith whilst there who has just left hospital after a 3 week stay, we both wished him the best for a speedy recovery,

 well I could hardy go along Third Road with out stopping in at the Ducati dealership,

 yes I know not the 795 Monster I dream about but this one the Diavel is even better!

 after we returned home it was time to get the Christmas tree out,

 I almost could not believe it when all but 2 of the lights lit up, so we replaced those and now Christmas is here!

 for our evening meal we decided again on a bar-b-q,

 the trouble was the same as last time, were we going to smoke or bar-b-q the food?

 but soon Diana had things under control,

 tired of fanning the flames we brought out the fan to help,

 soon the charcoal was crackling and spitting away,

 potatoes and onions for both of us, sausages and steak for myself, chicken for Diana.

 a happy Diana looking forward to her trip to see her family in the next few days,

 not long now,

 'Cheers!', from me as the first sausage hits the plate,

 followed by onions,

 and a baked potato,

 by now Diana's chicken was now ready,

 

for dessert Diana had bought a mini pineapple from the market, only 20 baht and it was as sweet as a sweet thing, after watching the night sky for some time we went back indoors feet up for some television,

tonight a few more episodes of Colditz, we both enjoy this series immensely, it is still there today, then for us we were off to bed.
