First Stop To The Office Depot,

I wanted to buy a couple of covers for the pages of my stamp collection, although not full yet when Phil arrives from the UK with a few more stamps I will have run out of room in my present two covers, Office Depot is next to Bid C on the Sumkivitt highway between Thepprisitt and Pattaya Tai, also in the same area is Home Pro and lots of stalls selling things for home and garden outside,
even wooden tea houses, this one 45,000 baht, with lots of statues and wall decorations,
our next stop was the Soi Bukaow market, we parked outside this flower shop,
Diana wanted to buy some nail varnish and acetone remover,
whilst there I spotted a few fish for one of the aquariums, 25 baht each or 7 for 150 baht, I could not resist them!
Diana also bought a bag to keep all of her nail care products in, so three ice coffees later we we were home, had a shower and off to the weekend night market on Theprisitt Road,
we were a little early with some of the stalls still setting up,
but there were still a lot of buyers there already,
we knew we were early as the mobile food sellers are still going round the stalls before it gets too busy,
opposite the bar a bargain clothes stall had opened up, 35 baht each 3 for 100 baht, bargain!
not to sure how safe that gas cylinder would be in a high speed crash, not the mobile stall doing the high speed, the truck that hits it!
we had already meet Juu and Dang, so the girls were off on a shopping fest when Geoff called over for a cool one, he has spent the last few months up North with his family,
the girls return laden with bargain clothes and a few other goodies, but then they were off again!
next Bob and one of his friends called by, we had not seen them for months, all is well for both of them as we chatted about what had happened since we last meet,
the girls then returned, this time with lots of fresh fruit, strawberries, yummy!
then home feet up and watch a movie or two, first Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, she finds an orb that leads to the mythical Pandora's Box, unfortunately, the orb falls into the hands of Jonathan Reiss, an evil scientist who deals in killer viruses and hopes to sell the secrets of the box as the ultimate weapon, great fun,
then outrageous comedy, Little Britain, you either love it or hate it, for me it is first class, the characters I like the most? well, I guess Lou and Andy, Emily and Florence, Sebastian and Micheal, not forgetting Mr. Mann,
to round the evening off Plunkett & Macleane a really enjoyable film we have watched more than a few times, the music mainly by The Tiger Lillies and lyrics fit the movie so well, then off to bed.
