9 Jan 2026 – Subli Motion

Tue: XmasDecorations down, so ready to be boxed and put away until next season…

Appreciations for the new S$300CDCS$600PTVS$60

Neighbourhood ready for CNY appropriate&tasteful with just the red&gold lights – time for an ice-cream before the rains, dessert before dinner.

ThankU for dinner with nieceJudy&nephewClement.

Wed: this volatile world situation with climate-changes, political-issues, etc is distrubing&destressing. Trying not to read too much into the news, perhaps ignorance can be bliss! and the subject of food can hopefully be a distraction. Apparently niecePat-Lynns friend’s 8yrs kid tells us there is a 50-course 4-7hrs meal~DDK5,600-16,600/S$1,132-3,355 and this does not include beverages from  Alchemist,CPH/Denmark. First time in CPH 1969 during Dublin/Ireland student days this place certainly did not exist then and a meal like this will probably be the end of me financially&physically then&now! but what a way to go!! Will be in transit ~2hrs in CPH next month on route to USA  –  pix downloaded.
Another good distraction from this troubled-world is sewing while listening to audio-books and this one was read many moons ago/late 1980s when it was first published and we were living in FL/USA. Do remember it making an impression then – today the self-discovery is at a different stage in this life joruney as to then…
Always working towards this serenity quote but do need to be reminded.
SubliMotion is a restaurant located in SantJosepDeSaTalaia,Ibiza/Spain run by chef PacoRoncero who utilizes molecular gastronomy in cooking. The restaurant is known for being among the most expensive in the world with over 12course and a limit of 12guests ~€1900/S$2,855pp. First&last time in Ibiza was in the early 1980s and without doubt would not afford to go there then or now even if it existed but fond memories of another chef then! No intentions or plans of returning there for any revisits – pix downloaded.
Thu: a to-do-list is literally as long as your arm but procrastination is on top of the list – hahaha
You can’t just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood.
What mood is that?

Fri: again another dessert before dinner day, could not resist McD-HersheyIceCream. Nice beach walk with Lynne,Pat&Peggy despite having to ask some PRCppl to pick up their dogpoop and to let them know that No camping or tents are allowed in ECP/AreaC.
What an flashy house@81WilkinsonRd – quite an eyesore in my eyes when located in a neighbourhood like this!
Appreciations with thanks to Peggy for delicious homemade dinner, Pat for yummy ChocolateBananaWalnutBread and Lynne safe journey to back to UK. Looking foward to return here in daylight to see PTs amazing orchids in her garden.
