I Will Only Be Making One Short Post Today,

and it will be the last one for just over 4 weeks!

today we are flying to Bangkok to meet up with Diana's family who have flown in from the Philippines when we arrive tomorrow, we will spend a few days in Bangkok and then Diana and her family will fly back to the Philippines, I will pop down to Pattaya for 3 weeks and then go back to Bangkok and meet up with Diana when she returns from her family, we will then have a few days in Bangkok before flying back to the UK. 

for myself I watched The Black Death, a 2 hour special presented by Dan Snow, a little more about the documentary here, what a horror of a time to live, a absolutely fascinating look at UK and indeed European history, the Black Death or bubonic plague was one of mankind's worst pandemics, killing more than 25 million people or at least one third of Europe's population during the fourteenth century, after which Diana arrived home, so time for our evening meal,

first a read and a sherry, 

followed by a selection of Indian dishes, 

'Cheers!', 

after which we settled back for Men in Black: International, we had watched the film before a long time ago so it was nice to see it again, having said that I did most of the watching, Diana did all of the packing, we are so looking forward to this, Diana has not seen her family in 6 years or so after, so you can imagine how excited we are, when we arrive back I will update the blog, as my laptop went to computer heaven, or hell a few years ago, and I just can not get on with editing and posting the blog on my telephone, so please call back mid to the end of November, packing finished and we were off to bed.
