This Sunday We Decided To Have lunch At The Punch & Judy,

it is almost opposite the Eden Hotel on Soi 17,
the place is like a UK pub, good food, drink
and very comfortable,
as the wardrobe is still shrinking Diana's clothes she has decided to go on a diet, no main course, just the prawn cocktail starter,
for me the Sunday 3 meat roast,
Diana's diet lasted right up till the desert!
Banoffee pie, I dread to think how many calories are in it, so to help Diana slim I just had to eat half of it!
it was so delicious,
if you want to have a go at making one yourself have a look here at the BBC cooking recipe page, so off we went home, feet up and I feel asleep! when I woke up on the sofa there was a film about James Braddock the fighter being shown, Cinderella Man, but what was of interest to me was that in the early 1960's my father always would say when the Beverly Hillbillies was on look at Jethro Bodine, he is the son of Max Baer, the boxer, I guess that Dad had a bet and won, Max was the only sportsman I think I ever heard Dad talk about,
not feeling hungry we stated on the local fresh strawberries, what they lack in taste they make up for in colour,
then to another couple of Poirot's, Dead Man's Mirror, Poirot is outbid at an auction for an antique mirror by the dislikeable Gervais Chevenix, who requests Poirot's attendance at his country home as he believes he is being defrauded by a business associate, John Lake, then as the guests are dressing for dinner a shot rings out, followed by The Jewel Robbery at the Grand Metropolitan, on his doctor's orders Poirot has gone to stay in the seaside resort of Brighton, where he is frequently mistaken for Lucky Len, who gives out money on behalf of a newspaper to people who recognize him, Poirot is staying at the Metropolitan hotel, as are Mr. Opalsen, a theatrical producer, and his wife who is an actress starring in a play at a local theatre, a set of valuable pearls which Mrs. Opalsen wears in the play is stolen, but who did it? then off to bed.

Where do you get all the Poirot and other movies? I rarely see them in USA.

Dear Seth, I buy all of our DVD's on Amazon UK, there are a few out here which are copies, but the cost of a lot of the copies is now so close to the genuine ones we buy the originals, friends then very kindly bring them over for us when they visit us here, best regards, Stan and Diana.

Perfect. Will check out Amazon here in the U.S. If you ever need anything from here, let us know. Cheers, Seth
