I Decided To Play,

with a few more photographs, 



in Thailand, 

I just love the curves of the glazed roof, 

and this, a full size elephant, all made of gears, chains and scrap metal, which at the moment lives in Big Robot Pattaya, again when I visited there in October/November last year, as an aside I often read the daily papers, my first choice the Daily Mail, I think it pays a little for its upkeep by generating 'clicks' where it can attract advertisers by the number of people that read a article, leave a comment, and then vast numbers of readers 'click' the comment, a great way to sell adverting space in your daily rag, but there is a downside, this is a screen shot of a normal page from yesterdays newspaper, 

the article is in there, somewhere! you can click on some advertisements telling the rag why you do not want to see them again,

I took this screen shot, there are 4 reasons not to see them again on the top right,

but here is the thing, I on gambling advertisements always click, 'Ad was inappropriate', but the same advertisement keeps appearing again and again, and here is a consequence I do not understand, if I click a lot of 'Ad was inappropriate' I am then not allowed to see or click on any comments for the rest of the read, which somewhat defeats the idea of publishing 'click bait', 

on to my evening meal after which I picked Diana up from the station after her company break in Lyme Regis, they all had a great time, if somewhat windy for the last couple of days, we arrived home just in time for a coffee and a chat before the start of a Midsomer Murder, but before that a surprise for Diana, when Diana first mentioned about going away for a couple of days I realized that one of them was our wedding anniversary, but I did not mention anything in case she decided not to go, but when she arrived home,

this was waiting for her on the table, a bunch of flowers, 

and a card, 

I especially choose some dwarf daffodils, I know Diana likes them so much, 

I also showed her a few of the prints I had been playing with whilst she was away, after Midsomer Murder, Diana was off to bed, she had been travelling for so long, as it happens we might take a short break this summer to Lyme Regis or nearby Charmouth, for myself a Have I Got A Bit More News For You, before I too was off to bed.
