First Thing,

to the veterinary surgery with Mariana,


 which took some time, not removing the stitches, which went well, in three days we can remove the dressing and the kittens do not have to wear cones anymore, what took the time was crossing the railway line, a train stopped on the level crossing with its last carriage blocking the crossing, if it had gone just one carriage length more all would have been well, but there it is, back to Mariana the vets fee today was again 100 baht to remove the stitches and re-dress the wound, looking at the kittens vaccination books they are all due back in two weeks time for some more injections, then that should be it for the next year, in the late afternoon we were off to the Thepprasit Road weekend night market, the market shrine in-between the two main buildings looking stunning in the low sunlight,

 looking towards Jomtien slight cloud,

 zooming in the sky turning grey,

 and quite a bit of cloud looking inland,

 opposite the bar this evening one stall selling clothes,

 no work on the steelworks since our last visit, or so I thought,

 a quick look at one of the fresh fruit stalls,

  strawberries,

 with fresh cream, yummy!

 the stall holders hard at work,

 there were a few customers in the pet section,

 the Discus shop had a number of small fish for sale,

 as well as crayfish and shrimps,

 I stopped by at the pet store, we were fine for kittens food, but I bought a nail clipper for them, watching the vet use one that the kittens claw goes through seemed a lot easier to use than the nail clippers that we use,

 one of the markets cats,

 I made my way to the petting stall,

 where a goat,

 was decorated I guess for the Chinese New Year which was today, 

 sunset over the market,

 when I took the first picture of the steelworks I did not see any changes, but now looking up the steelworks has a roof, so work continues, 

 arriving at the bar Jim and Brian were already there,

 the coconut juice seller on the downhill slope slows,

 to make the turn into the aisle,


followed by this seller,

 there was only one stall opposite the bar,

 but later another group arrived at the vacant space,

 at first I thought it was a beauty treatment stall,


 the girls got ready for a few pictures, 

 just one more,

 come on girls, smile please! by the way the stall was selling nose jobs for 9,900 apparently,

 after saying our goodbyes to Jim and Brian, we made our way home,

where the aroma of a delicious beef stew awaited us, we watched the BBC's Bargain Hunt, each week the Red team takes on the Blue team in a bargain hunt, both teams have £300 and one hour at a fair to buy antiques which they have to sell at auction, hopefully making money into the bargain, and each team has its own expert to guide them, also on Friday it is the time of reckoning for the two experts that have travelled in the UK every day for a week, buying antiques and then sell them all on Friday at auction, any profits go to charity, the show is the Antiques Road Trip, and great fun it is too, we rounded off the evening with a couple more from Game of Thrones and with that we were off to bed.
