It was my last full day, I had one more sleep before I would have to pack up and leave. I knew I already didn’t want to. I had nothing planned. I got ready and decided along the way that I really should go and see the Marina Bay Sands hotel up close. So far… Continue reading Singapore – Shooting the Breeze

Singapore – A Day of Rest
Between all the walking, the time difference, that was playing havoc and the heat, I was knackered. I woke up and then dozed - a few times. Eventually getting up to have breakfast on the balcony, coffee and writing a bit. I think because I’m in an apartment block as opposed to a hotel I’m… Continue reading Singapore – A Day of Rest
Singapore – Travel Day and a little bit more..
I was awake. I’d managed to sleep a bit but you never can settle when you know you’ve got to be up super early, I had to get the bus to the Terminal. I was downstairs waiting nice and early. I bought a return ticket at the machine and stood and waited. I decided to… Continue reading Singapore – Travel Day and a little bit more..

She’s my rock, the voice in my head and conscience on my shoulder, although I don’t always follow her advice...I can… Continue reading A Big Wet Week
A Big Update
Well, you’ll never guess what! I only went and did it!! I swam my First Ever Mile on Sunday night!!! I still can’t quite believe it. It was a fairly quiet pool, just Viv (aka Ariel) next to me and a couple of other people, so no body dodging or swimming over children....no I don’t… Continue reading A Big Update
Swim Update
So, I’ve swum five times since the challenge started and tonight I have finally pushed through 3 miles!!! I am so, so chuffed you have no idea! Last Thursday I pushed myself to do 80 lengths (the pool is 15m long), tonight I could only manage 50. It was a struggle. I’ve damaged my shoulder… Continue reading Swim Update
