It Had Stopped Raining,

at just the right time for us,

 as we were out for our Sunday lunch, so glad rags on and we were off,

 as we walked through the car park, I noticed this plant growing, back in the late 1950s it was a popular house plant, called a rubber plant, (Ficus elastica), I remember Mum used to polish it's leaves with some sort of commercial leaf shine product, it just seemed so strange seeing one out here growing in the wild,

 and 10 baht later here we were,

 looking up at the Robin Hood Tavern,

 it is located in the Avenue on Second Road,

 just walk upstairs,

 and there we are,

 looking down onto Second Road,

 and at the rear, a beer garden with some nice water features, 

 for our starters Diana chose spring rolls,

 for myself a prawn cocktail,

'Cheers!',

 on to our main courses, 

 we both choses the same, the 199 baht mixed meats roast,

 and another 'Cheers!',

 we both decided against a dessert, we were so full, the price of the meal including 4 large glasses of wine came to just a tad over 1,500 baht, thankfully the rain storm that engulfed Pattaya as we were eating had stopped,

so downstairs we went, looking down on the front water feature,

 we made a move for home,

we walked past Ripley's,

 looking back the traffic was bad,

 moving, but so slowly,

 but not on the other side of the Pattaya Tai traffic lights, clear roads,

 and a waiting baht bus for the 10 baht ride home,

 as we walked towards the condominium, this little chap made Diana jump, 

 a small frog, that I guess the rain had brought out, 

 it does not look it, but as we approached our building,

and arrived inside it, the sky was starting to cloud over again, but no worries for us as it was feet up for the crop of this week's Crime and Investigation episodes, 

in the evening we put a film on, The Mummy, the 2017 version, which was quite watchable, but in fairness we preferred the 1999 version, note to film crews, if you are going to feature the London Underground, in the UK it has a 4 rail system, not the 2 rail system that is used in American subway rail systems, a common but laughable mistake, next more comedy from The Last Ship, and with the end of two episodes of that we were off to bed.
