Out To Sunday lunch,

but on the way we made a brief stop,


 to have a look at a development,
 what makes all of these buildings so unusual to Western eyes,

 it the use of wood rather than steel for the scaffolding, but regardless of how it looks it seems to work, very well in fact looking at the number of buildings that have been built using this method,

 but eventually we arrived, at the Punch and Judy, it is located between Pattaya 3rd Road and Thepprasit Soi 8,

 we were joined today by Mr. Tony, he ordered the chicken pate, whilst Diana and myself shared a prawn salad,

 for her main course Diana ordered spaghetti bologneses,

Mr. Tony went with cottage pie with a cheese topping,
 
 for me the traditional Sunday roast lamb,
 
we naturally had to have a dessert, apple crumble with ice cream,

then home feet up for one one Diana's delicious latte coffees, we settled down to watch some of the auction/antique shows for the evening, then it rained, it appears that when it rains out here the satellite signal fails,

still that was not a problem as we decided to watch Salt as the satellite signal showed no signs of retuning, all went well till the power went out! it also appears that the rain takes out the electricity as well, so a scramble for torches and candles till the power came back on again, we watched the last part of Salt, there were three versions on the disk, the theatrical, the directors cut and the extended, which was the one we chose, after the film the satellite signal had returned so we watched a few more shows, then after saying our goodbyes to Mr. Tony we were off to bed.

You two eat like kings over there. But here's an important question. What ever became of Fred Huff? Did he pass away? Bret

Dear Bret, as of a couple of months ago Fred was fine, we exchange emails every now and then, he moved from this side of the Sunkivitt Road about 3 years ago so we do not see as much of him as we should, I will email him later and send your kindest regards, Stan and Diana.

OK. He used to send a lot of emails, but I haven't gotten any lately. (from at least a year ago)

Dear Bret, this from Fred yesterday,

'Hey Stan,
Nice to hear from you!! Ting and I are status quo and my health continues to improve after several near misses!!
I cannot drive a car or motorcycle and walk with a cane!! Ting drives me around in my sidecar when I need to go out!
Thanks for the holler and we'll get together one of these days -- hopefully soon!!'

nice to hear that Fred and Ting are well, best regards, Stan and Diana.
