Better Late than Never

Well got up in the morning of 30 Nov to snow falling which was quite a surprise really because it is usually quite protected where Dick lives. Driver of Parker cars arrived a little late grumbling about poor drivers in the snow. Luckily he knew a 'back doubles' way around one of those road works that uses traffic lights. Mind you had to travel over what seemed miles of calming bumps. Would never have got to Heathrow on time if he had not done this as when we cleared the area the traffic going the other way was banked up for over a mile. He came from Poland so was used to all the snow.

Flight took of about an hour late as we had to sit through the de-icing. It left just before noon but works on Singapore time so when we had our meal it was dinner and we were supposed to have a sleep after that!! Not my way to sleep at what was in essence aboout 6.00pm. Watched some quite good movies one a french one with Gerard Depardeux which was very good.

Left wearing vest, jumper, cardigan, scarf and overcoat arrived Singapore divesting myself of what I could but still hot and steamy. Got to Sheraton too early for a room to be ready so changed into better clothes in the pool change rooms and lay down on one of the pool lounges. Good old me went to sleep and managed to get a bit of a sunburnt face!!

Got my room, had a bit of a kip. Down for afternoon tea. Later on another sit around the pool and the compulsory Pina Colada. Dinner in the Italian Restaurant.

Up with the lark to catch the 10.00am plane home. Caught up with Avatar and to my surprise enjoyed it.

Rich picked me up and brought me home and didn't run out of petrol this time - but that is another story.

Suzie brought my Sam back yesterday but I think he was a bit off hand with me! However has forgiven me now.

Opened all the letters, paid the bills, gone out for walks between showers so life is back to normal!!
