The view from my "office"

[p--and--t]

The S&P squid I had in the LHR QP 2 weeks back was weird too, it was really big... and just felt like too much. I never thought I'd hear myself say that!

too much S&P Squid - NO SUCH THING!

Veerasamey Rd Little India. My wife's mother lived here from around the mid 1930's to the late 1940's. Her family was not interned by the Japanese as they were 'locals'. This building was built in1924. It appears to be being renovated but it has been in a similar state for a decade.

Love that wedding shot! Methinks the woman in blue looking wistfully ahead is humming the words to that song ‘It shoulda been me’…

A failed development built by the mainland Chinese for rich mainland Chinese.partly at least to move assets overseas. After strict money controls were put in place biy President Xi it lost its purpose. Only 9,000 people live there and it is often described as a ghost town. There was also apparently a lot of environmental damage caused by its construction. And now some buildings are showing cracking - claimed to be caused by hurried and badly done soil compaction.
