I Dropped Diana Off,

at the market,


 then made my way to the bank,

 finally meeting up at Friendship,

 shopping finished we parked at the back of TukCom,

 and ordered a ice coffee and a ice tea,

 in the evening we made our way to the weekend night market in Thepprasit Road,

 clear skies looking towards Jomtien,

 and inland,

 I made my way through the market meeting the ice cream seller coming towards me,

 opposite the bar this evening a shoe stall and a 49 baht stall,

 lots of fresh fruit as always,

 and it appears that strawberries are still in season,

 not many customers in the pet section,

 with one exception, the first stall that sells puppies had quite a crowd,

 walking back towards the road I passed the chicken stall,

 the good news the boiling oil was kept well away from the customers,

 sunset over the market,

 Jim was at the bar, 

 another mobile stall makes its way into the market,

 Brian and Sa also joined us,

 as the sun went down,

 the usual suspects but one more besides us three, Charlie who hails from South London called by,

 Sa, Diana and Cher all returned from a successful shopping trip, we said our farewells and made a move for home,

 tonight was going to be an adventure, Diana was going to try out our pressure cooker that was a wedding present, this brought back so many memories, back in my teens everyone seemed to have one, in fact one friend of mines mother had 4 of them!, she used them not only for cooking but for boiling all of the whites, that is sheets, pillowcases and shirts were boiled in them, everything came out so white I can still remember it to this day,

 well Diana 100% nailed it, in no time at all the chicken was cooked to perfection as were the potatoes onions and carrots,

to round off the meal a chocolate from Steve and Kai,

then feet up for a few from the second series of Peaky Blinders, which was a good as the first series, we followed that with a few from Judge Judy, then we were off to bed.
