The view from my "office"

The locals were celebrating your departure :p
Yeah, I walked into that one didn’t I?
With a tear in their eyes, indeed - before returning to the weekly (every Thursday) Punda Vibes.
This week they promised an XXL Fireworks show - looks like they delivered. (It's normally around 5 minutes of 🎆)
Yes, it was very good and more so because it was unexpected and we had a great view.

Bouncer was out checking out the tourists:

Followed by a leisurely brunch with myself and Mrs Nut at West48 cafe in West Footscray. The food and coffee was amazing! Mrs Nut had the corn fritters with bacon, poached egg and avo and I had French Toast and bacon.

Today it was Wat That Thong at Ekkimae BTS station in Bangkok. A distant relative of the Royal family had his funeral service yesterday. His body was on display for 5 days before. The last day the signal said was for the Royal family to visit.
