I Started The Day With A Busy Morning,

I had just received a letter to say that my truck insurance was due,

so it was off to see Jack Levy and his charming staff at MBMG Insurance, it is located at the top of Pattaya Tai on the left hand side as you are going towards Sumkivitt,

Jack was not in fact in, but his delightful insurance office manager Noi was, so we had a bit of a chat whilst the computer was printing out my receipt, now if you are looking for a long time girlfriend and are tall, handsome, English, professional, slim and have a full head of hair, (I miss out on so many especially the hair), then Noi would be pleased to meet you,

 next stop the pharmacy, Diana wanted a couple of things,

then to Tesco Express, I wanted a couple of limes to take to the Friday night market as some times the bar does not have them,

we whiled away the afternoon watching Deadliest Catch and Kings of Restoration, then to the night market, you may remember a few months ago there was some dirt inside my camera, naturally the worldwide guarantee was not valid in Thailand, so I had to pay 1,500 baht to have the lenses cleaned, well the same problem has happened again, the black splodge in the centre of the blue sky is a piece of dirt that has some how found its way in, so back to the repair shop next week and another 1,500 baht I guess to repair it,


why can camera manufactures not produce a camera which lasts a full year? I have had a Fuji, Panasonic, Sony, well two Sony's, all of which have failed in less than 6 months, all of the companies then refusing to honour their worldwide guarantee in Thailand, it is not as if they are cheap cameras, not that it should make a difference, but all are in the £200 - £300 range when they were new,

I was a little early with some of the stalls not yet assembled, though thinking about it I was on time, the stall holders were late setting up,

 long shadows as I take a picture of the pet section,

 sunset at the market, (try to ignore the dirt in the picture!),

 not many at the bar this evening,

 opposite the bar the same ear splitting noise from Toyota as the last time we were here,

 Brian called in to say Hi,

 just as the girls started their routine, (note to self, never buy a Toyota),

 on the steps by the side of the bar another show was getting under way,

 complete with professional photographer,

 shoot over it was then time to hand out leaflets,

 the balloon seller was here this evening,

 the girls on the steps strike the pose,

 then Sa, Brian's wife and two cousins arrived to say Hi,

 as did Mr. Tony,

 along with Craig,

and wife Porn, we all had a good chat as we had not seen them for some time, then after our goodbyes Mr. Tony headed back to 388 with us to watch a couple of DVD's,

first up a science fiction fest, The Incredible Hulk, Bruce Banner seeks a cure to his unique condition, which causes him to turn into a giant green monster under emotional stress,

followed by Unbreakable, a suspense thriller with a twist, are there people out there that are truly 'Unbreakable?' who knows, with that we said our goodbyes to Mr. Tony and for us we were off to bed.
