The Day Started Well,

we had a telephone call from Wattana Computers,


to say that our spare computer was ready, so in an hour or so the repair guy called round,

 and in less than an hour both computers were linked, so I have one keyboard, mouse, monitor and headphones, but can use either computer at the press of a button, the reason for this is that I have so many pictures I will be transferring them to the other computer as a back up, just in case! one thing I did forget to buy was a print hub, this will allow me to use the same printer for both computers,

 I spent a few hours transferring some of the photographs, then it was time to start our usual Saturday night bar-b-q, I dropped Diana off at the market to buy some prawns, meanwhile I went to one of the many shops that we call 'sheds', they are sort of permanent shops normally under canvas, but with some of the roofing a little more substantial, we needed some more charcoal,

 the one thing about these sheds is that they sell almost everything you can think of for the home,

 two 20 baht bags of charcoal later and I meet Diana in the fruit and vegetables market,

 then home to start sending out smoke signals,

 but the fire soon caught so it was flames rather than smoke we had to deal with,

 pretty much the same feast that we had a couple of weeks ago,

 first on the onion bon-bon, a couple of pieces of garlic wholemeal bread and Diana's hot dog,

 followed by prawn kebabs, Diana had also bought some pineapple in the market which finished off the kebabs nicely,

 prawn kebabs delicious 'Cheers!,

 we next eat some marinated chicken, after or meal we normally sit outside for an hour or two, very romantic in the candle light, but a slight drizzle started,

 so we moved under the eves of the house, but we soon went from slightly damp to quite wet in a mater of moments as the wind shifted, so a mad dash to get inside,

 in the time it took us to get the plates and cushions indoors we had gone from quiet wet to totally soaked, the rain had come down so fast and so heavy in just those few moments, so a change into dry clothes then it was feet up to watch some television,

we watched a few programmes from the Crime and Investigations channel, then to round the evening off one from Poirot,

Double Sin
A young woman is delivering a set of antique Napoleon miniatures to an American collector when they are stolen from her suitcase. Captain Hastings, under Poirot's guidance, sets out to find the thief.
then for us we were off to bed.
