So to New Years Eve. Again like last year we thought we’d stay at the condo. Last year was such a laugh with the girls, JT, Gordon etc we decided all good to stay and have fun here. It works so well as it is a 2 minute walk, it finished at 1am after fireworks,Read More

First things first a quick dash to the shops to buy some bits and pieces, and also to have lunch – a delicious Pho Boa today. Check out Amy and Ollie. In fact inspect Amy closer. We all said: “What are you Amy, Indian? A hippy?” “No Daddy, I am a Ninja.” Ha Ha HaRead More

Yet again another rainy Saturday afternoon – bugger! We’d stayed in in the morning as I needed to “create” another meal for the new cook book (coming on well by the way – and it looks like two recipes will be going in a local magazine with yours truly in Feb’13). I cooked a JapaneseRead More

So let’s stay at home for Xmas itself this year andRead More

Our friend who we met through Dave and Jacqui had invited us to Singapore Turf Club for Sunday racing. Oh yes indeed! He even gave us thisRead More
