It Happened Again,

one of my crowns become loose during last nights meal,


 so off to Doctor Chanis, the dentist I use, whose surgery is opposite,

 the Friendship supermarket, I had left Diana doing our shopping in there, then crown reglued in place for 200 baht, I got a 100 baht discount as it was reglued just a short time ago, I then popped over to pick our shopping up, we had a cunning plan, I would take the shopping home, and Diana would go window shopping, (which I hate), to Central Festival and then get the 10 baht bus back home,

 as I walked to the motorcycle with the shopping this is the view of the middle entrance to Soi Bukaow market,

 a look back to Friendship, shopping loaded, on the motorcycle, and off I went, sailing almost literally into the traffic on Pattaya Tai, and why do I say sailing?

 if you are a motorcyclist this is what you do not want to see, the lever of the front brake against the handle bars, the front brake cable has snapped at a most inopportune moment, as I tried to slow down leaving the Friendship carpark,

 having said snapped, it actually did not, what had happened was that the nipple at the end of the cable had failed and allowed the cable to slip through, the effect, no brake!

 so two of the motorcycle shops mechanics set to work,

and fitted a genuine factory cable, 180 baht later and I was on my way home,

Diana returned home after a very successful window shopping experience, after our evening meal we settled down for a few Bargain Hunts, which we always find are great fun, then our film of the evening, The Titan, a sic-fi of the army's attempt to change a human being into a new species, that can live on Saturn's moon Titan, a bit slow in places, but it did have the occasional moment, we had thought there would be more time spent on the planet itself, and without spoiling the film the plot was a bit of nonsense in places, then to round the evening off, sadly we watched the last of the Columbo box set, and with that we were off to bed.
