Last mail delivery until BoxingDay. Blessed with entertaining live-music from the common area downstairs in a dark&stormy Fri night for our annual gathering in a dry-comfortable environment of my 4-walls!

Tkx to Ting&CH+Bev for good company&gifts. No mood for cooking, just cold meats+berries, cocktail-sausages, Turkey-Caesar-salad and an Irish-creamed potato. Apologies that the ham was off as I am having fridge problems.

Sat: what are the chances that the fridge and watch breaking down at the same time?? Age is certainly catching on to these items about 18yrs old! Lunched with Clement and went to see his mom, my sis-in-law who is in SGH for a fractured hip after a fall – ouch!!

Family dinner@ChangBBQ/Dempsey Hill with Les&his branch all present here in SIN for this holiday with Lawrence visiting from KCH. Did not have any of those wines and appetite still not at its best but good to see Kat&family who are visiting from the USA.

Sun: today is the last Sunday of Advent

and some humour to get us thru’ 2017 Christmas Eve. Take care and be safe.

At the local MarineTerrace wet-market joining in the holiday ambiance. Am usually there before 0600hrs if getting fresh groceries, but today was there after 0800 mainly to get the orchids.
