Another visit to Raffles last night but this time we went to see the Austrian Vegetable Orchestra do their thing. 8 people bashing celery, hammering pumpkins, grating parsnips and blowing through hollowed out carrots. Odd but very absorbing. This was followed by a late-night feast in the restaurant with a couple of Singaporean friends, Anjana and Roy and we ended the evening by being asked to leave as we had talked to long and too late. Wasn't this way when the Brits still ran the place...
Today was another rainy day but at least the rain was warm. Not that it was a problem as we were indoors shopping which is seemingly Singapore's second favourite pastime after eating.
Thanks for the cricket update Mr Steele and the thoughts from Soxy and crew and chief-feeder Mrs M. Please retain the mouse-tail until our return. By the way, who Chris Bliss?
Yesterday we went for a long walk and accidentally went into the underground food preparation area of a shop in the Chinatown area. What a smell! Made my sock draw smell as fragrant as Monet's Garden. We did see fried frog on the menu (again) hence the absence of Kermit who is hiding. Food...Last night Singaporean, lunchtime today Thai and tonight maybe we will go to an Indian eaterie. Missing fish and chips badly...you can take the man out of England but...
Good news whilst we are out here from the 5 year drug trails test for the old leukie drug - 89% success/survival rate on those taking it. As I am planning not to be in the 11% it can be presumed that news of my death has been greatly exaggerated...Actually we got the info from our man Roy and his good lady, both of whom can rightly be considered experts on all the medical stuff. Apparently it made front page news on the Daily Telegraph with a quote from our good friend Pennie. (Oooer Missus - in the Torygraph. Whatever next?)
Below, Kerm gets hot and sweaty around the old 'tadpole-maker' (if you know what I mean) in the Orchid Gardens andTrish gets pulled outof the crowd in Singapore Zoo by some ugly bloke...
That is about it from Singapore. We fly tomorrow to Sydney, arriving 0800hrs on Saturday morning. Speak when we are down under...
Paul, Trish and the cowardly frog.

p.s. Is one week long enough to wear the same pair of undies?

Well undies and a week? right side wrong side, upside down, back to front No thats only 4 days!unless you do it all again then its 8!
I know will I ever live down being in the torygraph, still it made a valid point and got the whole question of specialist centres and proper treatment on the front page.
Hope Kermit makes it through customs without loosing a leg or two, and that flights are great. Looking forward to hearing about the wonders of Aussie land.
Love and bye for now Pen and Bill.
Hello chaps. Sorry but I've been busy. Dad in Guys for an operation, and Mr Weird in Medway Coronary Car Unit for a week - believed to have had a heart attack last night. Seems it wasn't indigestion after all!
Can’t decide whether your vegetable concert sounds more like a casserole or a dollop of coleslaw. As it was Austrian, maybe a veggie Wiener strudel. If Singapore’s second favourite pastime is shopping, why are you wearing last week’s knickers rather than indulging in that all-important retail therapy? On scientific grounds alone, surely you need to compare and contrast Sheppey vs Singaporean undies? Today’s thrilling update from Vigo: reports of the completion of my replacement porch door (last one rotted to smithereens) have been greatly exaggerated.
Who is Chris Bliss? He is that juggler extraorinaire.
