We Spent The Day Watching A Few DVD's,

but as it was Friday night off to the market,
it is the one on Theprisitt Road, we were a bit early so not many people around, first stop for me was a earring stall, the small ones were 50 baht, the bigger ones a little more,
we were so early the stall opposite the bar had not set up yet,
then a walk around, there seems to be more of these nail painting booths opening, I wonder if it is a franchise type of operation?
now this is the place to buy hula-hoops, so many sizes to chose from, out of interest Diana is still hula-hooping every day,
eventually I came to the end of the fish/pet section only to find the fish shop at the end closed, by now it should have been open so I guess it is another shop that has not made it, we will see next week,
now back to the bar, the stall opposite is well on it's way to being open, it will sell second hand clothes,
Diana back from her first look around the market, just as she arrived Juu and his wife called over, so the two girls were off on a shopping fest, whilst Juu and myself had a beer,
whilst at the bar suddenly I could feel something crawling up my leg, but by the time I got the camera out the little lizard had jumped to the side of the counter,
'Cheers!' from me!
when we had said goodbye to Juu and his wife we made our way home, Diana still wants one of these pink electric tricycles, the little lady above was riding around the small car park,
then came an 'oop's' moment!
before our evening meal of beef stew and dumplings Diana wanted to see the earrings I had bought, so here they are,
after the stew Diana surprised me with a fresh fruit dessert, delicious!
Diana preferred this mango based dish from the market, then feet up to watch a few DVD's,
first from the box Christmas Vacation, a real treat for us so many gags and one liners, things never run smoothly for Clark, his wife Ellen and their two kids, Christmas is no exception,
then a real change of characters with The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Priscilla being the bus, two drag-queens and a transsexual contract to perform a drag show at a resort in Alice Springs, so many jokes especially the long running 'Ralph' great DVD, think Malibu bar in Soi Post Office,
now this one is defiantly a bit different, what a complete waste of time, I know I am in the minority as it was awarded so many gongs, but after an hour or so I was convinced it would get better but it certainly did not, at the end Diana said, 'what did we watch that for?' it is about Warren Schmidt, an insurance salesman, whose life crashes down on him when he retires, same failings and doubts we all have, just a waste of time seeing a fictional characters ones,
now this is better! A Touch of Frost, Nothing to Hide, Frost investigates the death of a young junkie, Ben Cornish, the pathologist initially believes that Cornish choked on his own vomit but the autopsy reveals that he was beaten to death, then on that happy note, off to bed!
