Changes are happening at Tony's Pond

Went to visit Tony's place twice recently:
The place is in the process of remodeling.  
Work is progressing rapidly.

Here are my notes from the first visit:
Went to see "Tony the Blue Boy." yesterday. 
Apparently he had just finished repainting his snooker room.... Blue.

The process has just started, but there are some big changes happening there. 
Walls coming down, new ones going up. New roofing

The karaoke machine is out. Restaurant and bar theme is in.
From the looks of things it's a long term project done in stages. 
With celebrations planned for each completion.

Typical fisherman story, Tony explained the fish are sooooo big.
When the restaurant opens for business you can select the fish from a tank and dine on some fresh fish.

Second visit Saturday, February 7

Arrived shortly after 2 in the afternoon. First western guest to arrive.
Some potholes in the driveway had been filled with construction sand.
It's like driving a motorcycle in sand dunes. 

Definitely lots of progress. 

 

The bamboo furniture is great.  
I'd love to buy some for myself.  Are you a commission salesman, where is the showroom.


The English version of the menu was apparently at the printers during my visit.

As other visitors arrived they were served with beer and a karaoke microphone.


(AHEM) The invitation was for a pig roast. 
I must have been way too early. 
By 5 p.m., when I left, I had not seen a BBQ, smoke, or carcasses.

With the current remodeling progressing, the place is well worth revising.
I'm patiently waiting for Tony's fishing season to open.
I prefer such gatherings over noisy, off key Karaoke.
The locals love it though !!
