In The Morning,

we had a few friends call in,



  Mick, Moochi and Jimmy called in, they are off on a trip to the north of Thailand, so we had a chat, after saying farewells and wishing them bon voyage, we had a slight change of plans for the day, we had planned on going fishing but Nick was having problems with his pool so decided to work on that today,

 so we then made a move to Friendship,

  for some beef as we are going to have beef stew and dumplings after our trip to the market tomorrow and we were nearly out of candles that we use on a Saturday evening we bought a few packs of those,

 whilst Diana was going around Friendship I popped over to the Kodak shop,

 as we had our new visas I had copied our passports and had them made into business card size,

 so there was a copy of our passport on one side and our visas on the other to carry around with us,

 both were then laminated,

 making my way back to Friendship outside the new wing a money booth had been placed at the front of it,

plus space had been made for a small motorbike park,

 later in the afternoon Mark called by for a coffee and a chat, after our evening meal it was feet up for some television, or I should say Bluray discs, firstly Dark Star, a very old sci-fi, made in 1974, a comedy in many ways as an alien outwits one of the crew and a smart bomb becomes way too smart for itself and the crew, not everyone's taste and of course showing it's age in the special effects department, but I thought it was well done in many places,

 I was a bit dubious about Dracula Untold when we bought it, thinking another spin off of the same story, but we were both pleasantly surprised by this new take on the legend, stunningly good special effects made for very entertaining viewing and a great story line,

speaking of great special effects the same is true of Total Recall, no tongue in cheek story line here like the 1990 version, this was a real all out every thing in the effects department goes, having said that the story was so different from the earlier versions but instead of travelling to different planets the protagonists travelled to the other side of earth, but still a great film to watch, now almost midnight with that we were off to bed.
