Singapore & the Return Trip

What a marathon! Left Matt's place 4.30am on Friday (Noon - Adelaide) time & got home at Oakden about 9.20am Sunday morning. I don't care if I don't see the inside of a plane or airport for a long time except that I found out yesterday that I have to go to Sydney next week for a couple of days. Short trip!!
Apart from the long, long hours it was a good trip back. Spent about 18 hours in Singapore. Left airport and went to a hotel. Managed 3 hours sleep, 2 showers to freshen up from the trip and the oppressive hunidity in Singapore and did a 3 1/2 hour bus and river tour of the city. returned to the airport at 9.00pm on Saturday night in time for a midnight (their time) flight out. Singapore was great except for the climate which I loathe. My tour guide was an incredible and delightful 78 year old man who had got bored with retirement.
Matt is keen for me to say something about my last night in France - Pub Quiz Night. A great night but lousy score for our team - the Pub Nat team. Crazy night to go to bed late because I had to be up by 4am to go to Geneva Airport with Matt and Greg. I appreciate your devotion guys.
Back home now, always good. Was supposed to return to work today but decided to negotiate another day off. I need to get my head back into the right space. And - I need lots of sleep!

Enjoying my new work car & I should get my new lounge suite delivered in the next few days. Sitting on garden chairs at the moment. Well, that's about it until the next trip.
