Along Came The Electric Bill So Off To The 7 - 11 To Pay It,

this month a few hundred baht higher at 2,300, I also wanted to have a look at a new ornamental fish shop on Sumkivitt Road, if you want to find it this is the view looking towards Sattahip standing outside the shop,
just opposite the Highway Police headquarters,
it also has a selection of birds and cages for sale, so you could call it a fish and cheep shop! (Christmas cracker joke), as the sign says Fish Feed Aquarium, we bought a few golden panchax, Aplocheilus panchax, the pictures on the link do not do the fish justice, they are a beautiful golden colour in the aquarium, I will try to photograph them in a few days,
next stop Fascino, the medical outlet on Pattaya North,
then to Friendship, we needed the usual items, bread, milk, eggs, beer, vodka, red wine,
Diana was hungry so we went to the market for the poc-poc stall, but it was closed,
then as luck would have it just as we neared home there was the sound of one of the food carts that sold poc-poc, Diana was also tempted by the bar-b-q,
just a few minutes and food is served!
we spent the late afternoon playing cards, then time for the movie, tonight The Sum of All Fears, great special effects, but the story line, well who would have thought that the world's future rested with just one man, if he failed we would all be dead, thank goodness CIA analyst Jack Ryan was smarted than all of his bosses, all of the CIA, FBI, KGB, MI 5, BND, MI 6, Mossad, USA armed forces and presidential staff put together, now theres a thought, get rid of all of them and put Ryan in charge!
then on to Tales, we watched 4 or 5 but Clerical Error had a neat twist to it, it is a usual 'your dead relative owes us money' scam, for instance a husband dies so the widow,(address taken from the in memoriam column in the papers) is sent a bill for something her departed bought, but did not pay for before he died, widow pays, con men make their money, but this time there is a son who refuses to let his mother pay the bill, for a very good reason, then off to bed.
