Saturday And All's Well!

well not quite, I had nearly run out of vitamin pills, so it was off to Fascino in Pattaya North to buy some more, in the event I only bought 60 days supply, as at 360 baht I thought they were expensive, the ones I normally use from one of the health shops in the UK in comparison are 1,200 baht, but that is for 500 days supply, so when I am back in the UK off to Beckenham High Street! if you go to the site look up Beckenham Place Park, that is where I have my apartment in the UK or look here,
then to Friendship to get the chicken, pork, bread and salad for the afternoon, but I spotted this bike in the car park, it looks quite neat but I have not got a clue who made it,
and some fresh fruit, but down the road aways to the front of the permanent market on Pattaya Tai,
now in season prices are down,
one of Diana's favorites, custard apples,
the deal is done!
cold fresh coconuts in ice water, if you get a little dry,
dragon fruit,
then it was upstairs for the afternoon/evening, but then the heavens opened up!
for quite some time I thought only Mr. Tony and myself would be here,
but then a wet Big Jim arrived, he had been waiting for the rain to stop, and it did, till he was half way here!
Mark was next to arrive,
and then Michael and Lily called in, although they live in Hong Kong they keep a small place in Thailand, he works for a company called CompTIA, and specialises in information technology, a long time resident of Hong Kong he regaled us all with stories of our former colony,
Richard, Beth and James also called in, satay anyone?
Mr. Tony had brought along a selection of cold cuts, with ritz crackers they were very nice to!
one that did not get away!
the food is severed, well done to the ladies for looking after us!
all tuck in,
Mr. Tony was his usual self!
all to soon it was time to go, Booie called in to pick Mr. Tony up and we all said our goodbyes, another lovely evening was had by all, and we all learned so much more about Hong Kong, see you next week, "Cheers!"

The motorcycle you saw is the same as my own red Motorstar. I assume it is one of the Chinese variants under a different name. There are some slight variations on the windscreen and front farings, but everything other than that is the exact same.

Dear Jil, it was strange, every where I looked there did not seem to be any reference to the name of a manufacturer, so I guess it is a Motorstar, but this one is like a horse with no name! best regards, Stan and Diana.

Dear Anonymous,
sorry to hear that you have had a bit of a spat with Jil, I am not quite sure why you find him "such a twit" but if he is one I will do my best not to become one! best regards, Stan and Diana.
