60 Today, No Not Me Mike!

but first things first,
along to pick up Diana's jeans that were made shorter,
the seamstress has her shop just opposite the market where we get the bugs that Diana likes so much,
then all made up and ready to go, and me in the shirt Diana bought for me as a present,
Diana with her new jewelry,
then Mike and Riza arrived, new dresses all round, and a couple of drinks to start the evening off,
Mike had decided on the Pagoda restaurant in Jomtien,
and a great choice it was to,
inside the decor was very nice with umbrella's from Chang Mai hanging from the ceiling,
a view looking towards the bar,
the tables were beautifully laid out, we are having some complementary starters,
then for the actual starters Diana had mushroom soup,
Mike had curried cream of chicken, Riza decided on creamy chicken and leek soup, whilst I had smoked salmon with capers,
after a break the main courses arrived,
for Riza fillet of fish in a dill sauce,
Diana had the fillet steak with vegetables,
Mike had the veal tenderloin steak,
and for me sirloin steak,
Riza spent the whole evening laughing with Diana, a girls thing I guess,
then the desert, in a strange twist of fate we all chose the same one, ice cream tart with Baileys and Amaretto, and very nice it was to! all in all it was a lovely meal, unhurried and with attentive service, Helmut the director made us all feel more than welcome, the menu has so many different things to try, as some one once said, "We will be back!" below is a map of how to get there,
once again the food was so nice if you have any reason to eat out this is the place to go and be gastronomically pampered, you can also read more about it here,
well after a lovely meal we called in to see a couple of friends on the way back, David and Go,
Riza had prepared some Filipino food for them before setting out from home,
then it was back to 388 to open Mike's present,
Diana had used miles of tape!
success at last, a shirt,
it also doubles up as a dress for Riza!
then we settled in to watch a couple of episodes of "Little Britain"
the highlight of which was Mr. Dubery (Dudley) meeting Miss. Ting-Tong from Ping-Pong who was really Mr. Tong-Ting from Tooting, all to soon the evening was over, many thanks to Mike and Riza and many happy returns!
