Nice to be peacefully back from the other side of the world.
Police checkpoints on major Kualar Lumpur seemed to tone down what was setting up to be a nasty election reform rally. Color yellow was outlawed – I wore my ‘I surrender’ white Tee shirt. On the previous day I’d test worn my nice presentation orange MSG shirt without problems.
Bees needed more space -they’re breeding like flies. I gave them a new box with 8 frames of flat wax sheet. By next evening all frames have at ieast 3 mm of drawn out new hexagonal cells.
Next morning they’re still saying they need more.
Sure glad that Sea had returned home safe after the first massive “yellow – clean” street march ! What a memorable day that was for us all! One Malaysia One World!
The 3 e’s of life taught by C: this, we will always remember.
Enjoyed your reports from SE Asia! I had a Singapore Sling at the Raffles myself, long time ago, 1980, I think. It was rather run down then, in a romantic way, un-airconditioned, mildewy and overgrown. Seemed quite possible a cobra would crawl under the long bar, as famously described by someone of legend, Maugham probably.
Raffles is upscale now, but impeccably preserved. Those Slings were US $25 each.
