and started unloading the wardrobe and chest of drawers,
the pieces started to pile up,
with more coming in all of the time,
lastly the mirrored doors,
then work began,
and in no time the chest of drawers was finished,
so now 2 people on the wardrobe,
lastly the doors,
were put in place,
it took about 2 hours to complete the build, it would have taken me a lot longer! and how professional, all of the packaging was collected and taken back to base,
and here they are, the wardrobe,
and chest of drawers,
in the evening we were out, so it was glad rags on,
for a meal, I like the interior of the Grab taxi, so much nicer than a plain cream headlining,
we stopped at the Central Festival on Second Road,
and walked over the road to the Rajputana Indian restaurant,
for starters we chose chicken samosa each,
'Cheers!' just a small thing if you visit here wear warm clothes, the air conditioning is set to very cold,
and we shared a prawn puri,
which is as far as we are concerned is the most delicious prawn puri we have ever had,
one of the waiters offered to take our picture, which was nice,
after a suitable break we ordered our main course, chicken kebabs,
some nan bread,
King prawn makhani,
chicken tikka masala,
chicken dopyaja,
butter chicken,
and peas pulao rice,
a feast! we did in fact order way too much, but we wanted to take some away, I mentioned before the restaurant was super cold, which of course meant that the plates were as well, so I asked one of the owners if he spoke English, which he did, and asked if the restaurant had any warm plates, saying that when we put the food on the plates it almost instantly became cold, he replied the restaurant did not have any warm plates, but helpfully he had a solution, he reached across the table and grabbed 2 or 3 table paper napkins and said, 'put these on your plate and put the food on top of them' now why did I not think of this? of course it meant that we lost a lot, if not all of the sauce, as the paper napkins soaked it all up, and of course it was difficult not to get a mouth full of paper napkin, but what a brilliant idea to get over eating what was soon to be stone cold food! and to round the evening off we were given a totally unexpected 10% discount, the meal came to 2,626 baht with enough left over for another evening, win, win all round!
after the meal Diana wanted to go window shopping in Central Festival, so I stayed outside,
listening to the group,
of some,
of the,
overly made up,
super models,
in the shop window, after her window shopping we grabbed a taxi and made our way home, where I had a nightcap and we were soon off to bed.
