We Had A Slightly Different Saturday,

first thing and we were off, 

 to Freddie's Fishing Park, along with Jim and Cher,

 John kindly took our picture,

 watched by a couple of fellow anglers,

 and John himself who made us all very welcome,

 the view of the lake from the bar/office, looking to the right,

 and left,

 Jim had called to book the pontoon, 

 and we were soon tackling up,

 meanwhile, 

 the girls made themselves comfortable, 

 we dropped the fish a line,

 and I was the first to get a reply,

 and here he is, 

 a red pacu, (‎Piaractus brachypomum),

 then time for breakfast/lunch,

burgers and chips, 

 the lake has a number of geese,  

 and then action, as Jim hooks a large fish,

 I look on hoping it will be my turn next,

 the fish was really putting up a good fight, 

 Cher did the honours with the landing net,

 and there he was,  

 after carefully unhooking him,

 it was time for a pose,

with a red tailed catfish, (Phractocephalus hemioliopterus), 

 two white geese arrived,

 time to sit back and relax, 

 and then it started to rain,

 so time for a beer,

 one of the geese came over for a closer look, 

 then my second fish of the day,

 a small carp,

 a quick pose, then unhook and return him,

 fishing over it was time to pay, 

 and say hello to a white blue-eyed huskie, the park charges 300 baht a day for fishing in the low season, reduced from 500 baht high season price, booking is recommended, 0850955491 and note that Sunday and Monday the park is closed to the public and is open for only guests staying in lodge, the rest of the week open 8.30 am to 7.00 pm, we had a thoroughly enjoyable time, 

if you want to have a great days fishing here is the map of how to get to the park, as a reference point at the top left of the map there is The George in Chaiyaphruek 2 Rd, 

 after saying our goodbyes to Jim and Cher, we were into our Grab taxis and home, where for our evening meal we were outdoors, and started with Diana's lobster bisque soup, 

 which one of the feral cats and one of her 4 kittens that have adopted us could smell, 

 for some reason one of them found my shoes interesting,

 food please!

 Diana brought one of our cats toys out to play with the kittens,

 which they loved,   

 next lite the barby,

 and soon we were in business, 

 on with a couple of pork fillets, 

 unwrap the potatoes, bacon and onions, 

 and tuck in,

 'Cheers!',

 and for dessert,  

honeydew melon with strawberries and ice cream,

 Diana brought one of our cats outside in a harness, 

 this is Mariana, 

 who I am sure could smell the feral cats that were here earlier, 

after a walk around we listened to music until the midnight hour and then we were off to bed, just a small thing, remember to hit the older posts button, there are a few more for today.

Well It Just Had To Happen,

two of Diana's favorites in one box,

chicken wings and ice cream, thanks to Perry's ice cream, a dream in a box.

Exciting News For Thrill Seekers,

and this is it, 

reported in the Japan Times, when the 634-meter-high Tokyo Sky Tree in Sumida Ward opens thrill seekers will be able to take part in what is claimed to be the world’s highest commercial bungee jump, jumpers will launch themselves from a height of 430 meters (over 1,400 feet) towards the ground, the jump was discovered after being inadvertently photographed by The Japan Times’ sharp-eyed senior cameraman, Yoshiaki Miura, who was in the neighborhood shooting night exposures of the new tower, “I didn’t notice anything at all until I uploaded the pictures into my computer the next day,” Miura said with a grin. “That’s when I saw this grainy line across the computer monitor and I thought, ‘Oh, damn — something must have streaked my lens filter.’ I was going to delete the photos but then I zoomed in and scrolled all the way to the bottom, which is when I realized I’d captured a bungee jumper in what looks like a Spider-Man costume.” for the full story have a look here.

The Puritans Are Winning!

Southend On Sea has declared a ban on Bikinis,

 ‘Modesty Beach Areas’ will be set up to attract visitors from all over the UK who may be uncomfortable with the sight of ‘excessive bare female skin’ for a number of either cultural or religious reasons, Diane Verss is head of the Working Group for Southend Tourism Inclusion and Equality, and she accepted a request for an interview, She said: ‘We asked 500 people from East London and North London if they would consider a visit to the beach at Southend, and 37% said that they didn’t want to be exposed to Essex-based female flesh and have been choosing Brighton or Eastbourne instead.’

Gender Neutrality Goes One Step Closer To Madness,

in your own home!

Junior minister for the DAE (Department of Agricture and Equalities), Julian Fin De Cloche told a packed press conference that it was time for every home in Britain to provide an inclusive and non-discriminatory toilet environment, Mr Fin De Cloche commented, ‘From March 2021, if you invite someone into your home to use your facilities and they would rather not be pigeon-holed into a ‘Gents’ or ‘Ladies’ toiletarial classification, you could be liable for a £5000 fine if you only have a toilet that has been aligned to a particular gender, for example, if you are a single toilet household and you only have a predominantly pink or blue décor, a third-party user could technically contact their local hate crime unit and file a report.’ but there is some good news, the Labour Party confirmed in a press release that local constituency branches would offer a £99 AGNS Compliance Check for local households from the end of the year, the fee will include a ‘Home MOT’ from a qualified Diverse Diversity and Diversification Specialist who will check other rooms in a property and give advice about wallpaper patterns that may offend people who get offended by certain wallpaper patterns, well that’s a relief, so home owners in the UK get your £99 cheques written out now!

OK It Is Time To Confess,

you do know it is April Fools' Day?

so the Perry's ice cream, bungee jump, the Bikini ban, neutral gender toilets were all spoofs! Sorry but they were too good to miss, happy Sunday morning!
