We Had Already Popped Into 3BB,

it appears I had been too quick to pay our bill,
so our Internet fees are now paid up till the end of June, next stop HomeWorks, Diana had mentioned she wanted a blender to make drinks, so that was the next port of call, 1,090 baht later and a Moulinex blender was ours, as we were out and in the store we had a look around the store, it has always been our dream to own a series 7 or 8 Samsung 46" or 55" 3D LED television, so we had a look in the electrical department,
and there it was, the new Samsung Smart television, series 8 55" LED bright as a button, well that was it we were in dreamland, we could both see our selves now, television on the wall, home theater speaker system, then as we left we yet again we tried the La-Z Boy recliners one for Diana one for myself, naturally the assistants thought we were totally mad, there we were in chairs costing 35,000 baht each - upwards, looking at the two seats we had just purchased, in the same store,

at 60 baht each!

back home it was on to the bike to go shopping at Friendship, then I decided to trim one of the trees I bought a few weeks ago, so out with the scissors I bought at the market they seemed like a bargain, at 39, 59 and 79 baht each,
the tree before work commenced,
I wanted to be able to see more of the trunk so I started to thin out the growth,
just a few bits removed so far,
a little off the top please!
well quiet a bit of the top,
and there it is,
for me looking more like a miniature tree than it did before the trim, I guess however many will like Diana be thinking, 'why did he take a perfectly nice tree and make it look so bare?'
as some of the bits I cut off were 3 or 4" long I trimmed them and stuck them in Diana's miniature garden, who knows in 6 months or so they might have taken, trees for free!
after our evening meal it was feet up for the second DVD of Bloody Britain, this evening for us, episode 6 the Monmouth Rebellion, when the Duke of Monmouth failed to usurp the throne in 1685, retribution was terrible in the extreme, episode 7, Jack the Ripper, an investigation into the unspeakable killings of 1888, episode 8, the Vikings, savage attacks on the British Isles launched by the vicious and merciless Vikings, featuring death by adder! episode 9, the Welsh Rebellions, a threat to English rule that had to be crushed - at any cost, lastly episode 10, the Peasants' Revolt, the fight for justice that turned into a bloodbath in the heart of London! it is only after watching a series like this you realise how bloodthirsty, cruel and unforgiving our ancestors really were,
after Frankenstein it just had to be Frankenfish, when the body of a man is found completely destroyed in the swamps in Louisiana, the medical investigator Sam Rivers is assigned to investigate the murder, it appears that Chinese snake-heads genetically engineered that belong to a wealthy hunter are attacking and killing the locals,
two more from Police Squad were next for us, we did not pass the Donut line! as usual the guest stars each week are murdered in the opening scene and then are never heard of again, (for some that would be a relief!),
to round off the evening one of our many favorites' Poirot, this episode Mrs McGinty's Dead, James Bentley is tried for the murder of Abigail McGintyThe evidence is overwhelming, and soon after he is sentenced to hang. Superintendent Spence is not convinced of the man's guilt, and so he visits Poirot, asking him to look into the case, so if Bentley did not do it, who did? then for us off to bed.
