Yet Again,

my record with things electrical,

has come back to haunt me, my telephone again refused to switch on, so parking up next to The Grand Day/Night Hotel, 

 we dropped it off at TukCom, 

 as we were out we decided to call into Makro, for some boxes of red wine, but alas, the red was sold out, so we just bought 2 boxes of white,

in the late afternoon, we called back to TukCom and for 400 baht my telephone was back to itself, next a couple of plumbers called by, where the mains water goes into the water tanks, the plastic 'T' had cracked and was leaking, so it had to be replaced, 

they say curiosity killed the cat, well all of the coming and going of the plumbers caught the attention of the 4 kittens, who all came out of hiding to see what was going on,

after our evening meal and watching a few quiz shows, we decided to round the evening off with In the Heart of the Sea, a great real life adventure, the film was gripping, cruel and life like, for the true story this article from The Telegraph gives an account that is very informative, at least a one mug of coffee read, and is the story that a whale sunk whaling ships true? the story, first recorded by newspaper editor Jeremiah Reynolds, tells of a mammoth white whale near Isla Mocha, off the Chilean coast, that was famed for assailing whaling ships, (As you probably have guessed, Melville took even more of his inspiration from the Mocha Dick legend than the story of the Essex), the whale was said to have sunk some 22 whaling ships between 1810 and 1830, and as if to confirm the number of whaling ships sunk footage captured by the Sonne, a research vessel mapping a deep-sea canyon near Isla Mocha, revealed a graveyard of whaling ships thousands of meters down, a vengeful whale, not a creature to mess with! and with that we were off to bed.
