Happy Birthday Barty.
BRIGGSY, GET A CONTRACT!!!!
Well the sun has come out today and the temperature has gone from very hot to excruciatingly hot.
Went out to the padang to see the Cricket Club and Recreation Club,then to have a smooze around Raffles.
I can't even begin to imagine how far Singapore has come in 40 years. You get little snippets of how the streets used to be. Singapore really has come from nowhere.
Even Zam Zams, dad's favourite curry house, is still there. Old Bugis Street has gone, but there is a new Bugis Street Market.
At fort canning park there is an excellent dedicated to the japanese invasion of Singapore in the second world war. They were the first British Forces that century to surrender. Winston Churchill described it as Britains worst defeat in battle.
At night Mum wasn't happy that Dad and I were drinking jugs of beer, decided that she'd have a jug of wine. It resulted in much sillyness and an eventual wetting of the nightie. By dropping it in the sink I hasten to add.
