Yep, bags packed, weighed, repacked to meet limits, sat on, zipped up. Just got to get to sleep now, wondering what that vital item is I've forgotten to pack. It'll come to me at 2am, always does

God speed (and good speed) to you both. We're excited waiting for the updates, how you two must feel is indescribable.

Thank you for good wishes. We have had some very sad news in as much that one of our drivers has now got medical problem and cant come. Absolutely gutted for him. He and his |Mrs are lovely people. Life not fair some times.
For me I am in awkwood place. Excited, but also worried about leaving workshop for six weeks knowing we only have two weeks when I get back to the first race over here. At work now leaving notes all over the place.As some one said to me last week,"dont worry the problems will still be here when you get back". |

Technical glitches already! OK, it was naive to think we could switch mobile network providers merely 2 weeks in advance and for it all to be working. At least got wifi when available and got bills from both providers today to prove it! Very bumpy journey to Singapore, potholes are worse here than at home🤣

Singapore and Hong Kong are superb, but you do have to pick your times to visit. I found that the worst times to go are June to the middle of September, so I used to go out every January, May and October. I made the mistake of going to HK once in July, and after the long flight (it was about 18 hours as there weren't any direct flights back then) I went to the hotel's fitness centre to have a sauna. I needn't have bothered because I perspired more going from the fitness centre, which was at the side of the hotel's swimming pool, back into the hotel than in the sauna itself! Never repeated that error again. |
