Some Of Diana's Stinky Cactus,

have begun to flower,


 and strange they look too,

 and certainly different from run of the mill cactus,

 in the main tray another has a flower head forming,

 which I am guessing will be similar to the previous one,

 so we shall see in the next few days,

 they are lots of smaller heads of flowers as well,

 and here a different specie,

 this bud about three quarters of an inch across, these are all Stapelia or as we call them stinky cactus,

 in one of the other trays,

 this small Mammillaria had just flowered,


 in the evening off to the market,

 looking towards Jomtien,

 and a cloudless sky looking inland,

 piles of backpacks on this stall,

 I have never been into trainers, but I guess the fashion conscious would go for the red or yellow ones, why not really stand out?

 work had continued in the week on the new structure, the welds that last week had just been tacked in place were now fully welded,

 opposite the bar this evening a shoe stall and one selling cuddly toys,

 I should have also mentioned some of the iron work had been given a coat of paint,

 we are all still asking the question, 'where will the car park up-ramp be?'

 I made my way towards the pet section,

 passing the fruit stalls,

 strawberries, 'yummy!',

 the pet section,

 as on most weeks the first stall seemed busy,

 sunset over the market,

 looking along the food section from the far end,

 the building of the new structure and resiting of stalls seems to have made a lot of new space,

 girders on top ready to be welded in place next week,

 as I made my way to the bar past the shoe stall,

 there was Jim waiting at the bar, Cher was not here this evening as she was packing ready for an early start for a break in Kuala Lumpur, we were also joined by Brian this evening, after saying our farewells we were off home,

 where we were greeted with a delicious aroma, beef stew and dumplings,

 followed by strawberries,

delicious! 

then feet up for a omnibus of Judge Judy followed by another enjoyable episode of Death in Paradise, with that we were off to bed.
