Today Big Jim Called Over In The Early Afternoon,

we were off for a game of pool and a bite to eat at Juu's house,
Big Jim by Juu's fish pond, in case you do not know Juu is the owner of Champions in Walking Street,
he has just bought this water feature for his garden,
originally theses were made to be water powered and to make a loud click, they were in fact made to scare deer from coming close to crops, rather like a scarecrow but using sound, but over the years they have changed in this case to mechanical beings, this one has 3, a guy rowing a boat,
one riding a bicycle, and one cranking a handle,
Diana taking the shot, but my camera not quite taking focus, I know it's a bad workman that blames his tools!
then it was Big Jim's turn,
feeding time for the fish,
although difficult to see as it has been raining so much the water is a bit cloudy there are 2 Arapaima gigas in the pool,
Annie or in this case Diana, get your gun! a plastic BB gun of course, Juu put a piece of paper up for target practice, Diana missed every time, I feel a lot safer now!
then it was back home to the food stalls, but not many here tonight, in fact very few,
even motorbikes parked where food stalls should have been,
but the good news was that the chicken soup stall was there,
but nobody eating at the tables,
then to the other market as the bug lady was not there, but first the last boiled sweetcorn,
then the bugs,
even this market was pretty empty,
then home for a few movies, first as we were eating we watched The Mummy, we have seen it before, so it did not matter that we miss a few bits whilst we were eating the soup, a real boys own adventure,
then Matrix Reloaded, if I thought the plot in the first one was complex this one really lost me! but the fight sequence when Neo fought the Mr. Smiths was so exciting and mind blowing for the special effects,
and last but not least The Outlaw Josey Wales, a good no holds barred tale of the west, with more than a few bits of humour thrown in, by now it was nearly 2 in the morning so off to bed.
