Up Early,

with my first stop of the day,

 to the hospital for my bi-monthly check up, so weight 76.5 kilogrammes, blood pressure 133 over 67 at 80 beats a minuet, then a blood sample taken and sent to the laboratory, so a wait for an hour or so, next stop LK Metro for breakfast, this is the view from Soi Bukaow,

 the building at the end of the Soi getting bigger at every visit,

 and this was where I was heading, Kilkenny's, bar, restaurant and guest-house in the corner of the 'L' shaped Soi,

 I ordered the big breakfast, orange juice, with a choice of tea or coffee,

 two slices of bread with two pats of butter, plus a tub of strawberry and one of orange spread,

 it is opposite another well known bar and guest-house, 

the Billabong, 

  the big breakfast arrived,

two eggs, two sausages, well everything you see all for 135 baht, so breakfast finished and back to Soi Bukaow and then to the hospital for the blood results which were 133 sugar and 5.1 uric acid, the good news is that normal values range between 3.5 and 7.2 mg/dL so I am just about in the middle, the doctor seemed very pleased with the results and said to keep everything the same, so with a hop, a skip and a jump my next stop was to fill the bike with fuel as I was running on fumes to get this far, 

later in the morning Doc. Jeff called to say would I like to meet him at the Jade House for the bar-b-q- and a drink,

 it is situated in the Jomtien Nivate estate on Thappraya Road going towards Jomtien,

 although classed as a Gentleman's club this is the reason Jeff wanted to meet up there, he also invited Mick along as well,

every Wednesday afternoon at 2.00 there is basically a free bar-b-q, it works like this, you pay 200 baht for a voucher, then use that to buy drinks, say 3 or 4 sodas or beers which you most probably would have bought anyway and you eat as much as you want for free, all for 200 baht, great idea,

I did not eat anything myself as this morning I had the big breakfast at Kilkenny's, but I have to say the food looked really good and plenty of it, after saying goodbye to Doc. Jeff and Mick I made my way to Country Favourites, we had decided not to go out this evening, but we had not had an Indian meal for so long we decided to treat ourselves for a takeaway,


the restaurant is situated in Soi Bon Kai, this picture taken outside of the restaurant,

 looking towards the Cozy Resort,

outside the daily specials,

and as the sun went down here we were outside in the cool of the evening,

for our starters we had ordered poppadom masala,

 with onion bhajiyas and chicken samosa,

 then after a long break our main course,

 chicken korma,

chicken tikka masala,

 peas pilau rice,

aloo gobi,

and onion nan bread,


'Cheers!',

 a few weeks ago we were plagued by mosquitoes, but now there are hardly any, but I still lite up one of the mosquito coils when we sit outside,

then our dessert a ice cream each, the food we both agreed was absolutely delicious,

 this is the restaurants menu although I should say it is more of a take away than a restaurant as seating is limited,

as I have said before the food is first class, and we would both if you like Indian food highly recommend it, back to the evening, we were both so full, we spent the rest of the evening listening to music then some cable television and just before midnight we were off to bed.
