Birthday Update

Hello All,

Here's a recent picture of Daniel and I enjoying Marina Bay



Today is a Public Holiday in Singapore, only a day early but a very good excuse to celebrate my 51st Birthday. So Jen ordered in a Black Aberdeen Angus and we invited some family and a special guest around;



Then we ate; so sorry, so delicious our 4.5kg prime rib, we scoffed it before taking any pics, I also deglazed the roasting dish with an olde bottle of plonk we had laying around, roasted some potatoes, garlics, onions, (thanks to Jamie O for his words of wisdom), carrots and tossed it all down with wine; not forgetting my pint of Olde Speckled Hen before lunch.





Then Claire and I went on a Nature walk and scaled the Summit of Bukit Timah Hill, a wonderful trek through the jungle to the heady heights of 164m, where we were met by old men, India workers in flip flops and others who had walked the tarmac road to the summit. This is in preparation for our Sumatra jungle trek next month and of course our December alpine adventure. We are now considered to be "in training". Here's a picture on the trail;




So for all those who have birthdays coming up, a Happy Birthday from us all here, and for all those wishing me a happy birthday, thank you and you are welcome.

Keep you posted,

Love Nic and all.
