First Thing,

I meet up with Mick,

 at the Punch and Judy,

 for our breakfast,

 large English for mick and a small English for myself, after saying our goodbyes I went home and waited for Wattana Computers to call around, having establish that we were receiving a signal we now knew it was the Wi-Fi modem that was the problem, mid afternoon as arranged they called in, with this,

the new modem,

and had it up and running in no time at all, Diana then did her magic and reconfigured the television so we can now watch You Tube amongst other things on the Internet,

next stop the market to buy a few things,

 with the Chinese New Year just a few days away there was a stall selling traditional New Year gifts,

 Diana was taken with these, a balut as it is known in the Philippines,

it is a developing duck embryo that is boiled alive and eaten in the shell, it is commonly sold as streetfood, but we were surprised to see them for sale here,

 I am always fascinated by these mushrooms,

 but on with the shopping, some onions and garlic,

 limes for the beer,

 some pineapple for both of us,

 and a couple of coconuts,

we decided to eat outside, and have a dish of New Zealand mussels covered in garlic along with fresh bread and a glass of wine, followed by fresh fruit complete with a candle for a romantic touch to the evening, we spent the rest of the early evening listening to music, then a couple of The Chase from the Internet and a couple of Columbo and we were then off to bed.
