Michael arrives

It appeared for a short while on Saturday that I had had my first raffle win of the year,but just like Australia's Top Model, there had been a mis-communication. The winner was from Punggol but it was not me! While I was at work Michael arrived back in Singapore. He met me after work and we had a very pleasant dinner at Firenze by the river, before he succumbed to weariness.
Sunday night was the end of term drinks at Potato Head Folk in Chinatown. Housed in a lovely old Art Deco style building it was, at $40 for 2 drinks, a tad expensive so some of us recovened at Rooselvelts for dinner and slightly cheaper drinks.

Catnap by the Bay!

As Mondays walk was an evening one it was the first Monday in a long time where I didn't have to set the alarm. After lunch at home Michael and I headed into town for a wander around the Gardens by the Bay as the walk was to start at Bayfront MRT. Michael found a bench that was capturing a pleasant breeze and decided to have a catnap, in preparation for the walk. The walk ended at Brewerkz at Stadium where Libby had a space waiting for us. Her operation appears to have been a great success and it is good to see her getting her mobility back. We had a drink before heading into the nearby hawkers for dinner. On the way home we called in to Peter's to toast Michael's return with a special whisky Peter had been saving.




















On Tuesday afternoon we visited the Da Vinci Exhibition at the Art Science Museum before meeting up with the Smiths and Bev at Wine Bos's new location close to City Hall MRT. It appears to be a work in progress as upstairs is still not usable, but at $20 for 2 hours of freeflow it is still good value. 

Dinner at SQUE

As Michael had not had the opportunity to visit his favourite bar, SQUE, while I was at work on Friday night he took the opportunity to have dinner there. Somehow Peter turned up there and I returned from work to find them sipping whiskey on the couch!
After work on Sunday night we had quiet drinks at Grapevine, by which time I think Michael was ready for a rest from Peter's walking/whiskey regime!
