Sunday Lunch,

so it was glad rags on,


 as we were off to,

 Soi Diana,

 we stopped at the 7-11 to pay the water bill, where when we walked past the Metropole building I noticed this hotel we had never seen before in the corner of the car park,

 Soi Diana was quiet,

 hardly any traffic, 

 and just 2 people outside in The Robin's Nest which was where we were going to eat,

 for today Mr. Tony, Slim Jim and myself went with the 299 baht carvery,

 the soup of the day was mushroom,

 it looked like Slim Jim had been in the wars as his left eye was bloodshot, but he said he was not aware of it, so I guess a small blood vessel must have burst rather than him poking himself in his eye, 

  Diana chose a Thai dish with rice,

 and there was plenty of it,

 time to start the main course,

 Slim Jim's 'best' side,

 Diana finished first and ordered a coffee,

 whilst the three of us had the included ice cream,

 we were all full,


 it was then time for our coffees,


I went with a coffee latte,

 after saying farewell to Slim Jim,we made our way to Mr. Tony's car,

 passing some of the mobile food sellers on the way,

 into LK Metro,

 where there was a mini mobile stall selling hair bands and similar items,

 going around the block we noticed Slim Jim making his way home,

 next up Soi Lengkee the LK President now all up and running in the distance on Third Road, we made our way home and watched a few from Judge Judy that we all found good fun, then after saying goodbye to Mr. Tony we watched In The Heart Of The Sea, which we both enjoyed, strangely enough I had mention the Essex, before and had featured it on our blog, the ship sailed out of Nantucket, Massachusetts in 1819 where the story Moby Dick is based, indeed the ship was rammed by a whale - twice, the Essex sunk, the survivors tell a story of hardship, death, murder and cannibalism, that led Herman Melville to write his book Moby Dick, which at the time he wrote it was poorly received, and only after his death received the recognition it truly deserved, more popular were his earlier works, Typee (1846) which he wrote after about four months as guest-captives of the reputedly cannibalistic Typee people and Omoo (1847) a lighthearted book which details his mutiny with other members of the crew of the Lucy Ann, his subsequent time in and escape from jail, we then watched a few more from Judge Judy and we were off to bed.
