wanderings & wonderings

I am in the dentist’s waiting room ... Saturday morning, a gloomy, glimpy, grey day. Opposite me sit a father and daughter,

I saw a man on the bus today on the way to an exhibition about ancient Egypt: his skin captivated me.

Tell me...where does time go?

Friends are here from the UK at the moment and are totally overawed at the magic that is Singapore - efficient airport bedecked in flowers, 5 star hotel at an affordable price, excellent food, safe water, public transport that runs on time, no chewing gum stuck to the streets and, of course, an endless array of shiny, ice-cool shopping malls. It’s very, very wet at the moment but rain is what it does here given our proximity to the equator and even though us locals witter on

A gentle, mellow, early start to the day. A welcome respite from the wetness of the past couple of days. A journey to my local market at 7am

Singapore awoke yesterday under a pale gray sky, no sign of the sun. Still, humid, expectant of rain. I began the day with a swim ...

No mistaking the fact that today is Monday. In the deep darkness before dawn the haunting call of the Koels stirred me from my slumber.

It started at 08h59 yesterday morning. Bang! Bang! Bang! A measured, metronomic rhythm crashed through my awareness setting my teeth on edge

The day dawned utterly serene this morning over Singapore. Being Sunday the building sites are silent leaving space in the ether
