Another Early Start Today,

just as they opened,

 we were at the immigration office, in and out in less than a couple of minuets,

 and parked up outside the Surf Kitchen on Jomtien Beach Road,

  it is just a few yards from Soi 5 that the immigration office is on,

we sat inside but still had a view of the beach and passing traffic,

 as always there was a nice display of orchids,

 on one of the two trees that make the entrance,

 so on to breakfast,

 Diana chose pad Thai or phat Thai, depending on which book you read,

 no problems with spelling my breakfast, prawn cocktail and a ice coffee,

 on our way home we stopped off at the fish and cheep shop on Third Road, 

 we had a quick look around,

 we needed to buy some fish food as we were running low,

 as well as selling fish and all of the associated accessories, the shop can also make aquariums,

 made to your specifications,

arriving home and looking at the aquarium, we noticed both the male, 

and female krib, (Pelmatochromis kribensis now known as Pelvicachromis pulcher),

behaving strangely, battling the other fish and keeping them away from a area by one of the rocks, then looking underneath them we could see why, they were protecting their young, which is what fish from this group do, a bit difficult to see but they are there,

 some time ago you may remember we planted some carnivorous plant seeds, reading the literature it appears they can take a few months to germinate, well after a couple of months some of them have,

 firstly the start of a pitcher plant, less than an inch tall at the moment,

 and our first fly trap,

 it is dwarfed by the 3 inch pot it is in, the traps just a couple of millimetres or three across, to be fair not many of the seeds have germinated but hopefully a few more will sprout over the next few weeks, now where can I find some mini flies to feed them?

after our evening meal we watched The Core, in case you have not watched the film it is a end of the world movie, but we come through in the end, also for this evening a new Ade in Britain, what a great series this really is, and a few from The Chase on You Tube, we rounded the evening off with a few from Bones, then again tomorrow I am off on a early start, so for us we were off to bed.
