Well it's been a while since I sat down to write - but we're still here! Rick is working very hard and is way too busy - he's currently in Sydney and then Canberra for the week, and I'm on a deadline to get an assignment done for uni......I'm still volunteering at the RSPCA and the weather here has taken a turn - rain and cool weather has been nice. Mum & Dad came over with Bec for a week recently, so we decided that for my parents first trip together overse...

So we've just had our first set of visitors, and as of this afternoon I have finally finished all the washing!

Then Nicky and Bec arrived for a real holiday - Bec's first visit to Singapore!

Next week he's in Taiwan and then the week after is Thailand - a very important golf tournament in Pattaya - so don't let him tell you it's all work and no play. When he gets back from that it's Easter and we've decided to hire a car and...

So we've just moved into our new condo in Singapore, and we're settling in - which means I'm unpacking and Rick has started travelling! So far in two weeks, he's been to India and Korea, and tomorrow is off to Denmark for a week! We've been eating out in hawker markets - where you can get dinner for less than 3 dollars Aussie! It's hot here, and very humid, but you'd be surprised how quickly you get used to it....just no hiking in the middle of the day. Lots of f...
