Nick And Maureen Called Round,

in the morning and spent most of the day with us,


we chatted the day away, after saying goodbye to them and Ta-Taa, we went to the food stalls,

we had not bought a meal of chicken soup for some time,

I ordered and waited for the soup,

whilst Diana popped to the 7-11 to buy some bread and pay the water bill,

most days we eat some fresh fruit, I normally put a few pieces out on dish that the insectivorous plants are growing in, this attracts fruit flies which they eat,

also it appears to attract frogs that like the flies,

I have not seen any frogs here in the daytime, although a couple of times a lizard has moved out of sight in the day time, this is the first time I have been past the plants and looked at night, so I guess they must be there most nights, the plant pot is becoming a mini eco system,

after our soup we settled down to watch Moon, without giving the plot away a 3 year solitary stint on the moon mining helium 3 is about to end for astronaut Sam Bell, but not in the way he expects, an interesting film, slightly in the vein of 2001 but with GERTY, the intelligent computer whose function is to attend to his day to day needs taking a more benevolent approach than HAL in 2001,

we finished the evening with 2 episodes of Silent Witness, both excellent and hugely enjoyable, then as it was late we were off to bed.
