New Year Lunch

Alice and Flor at Corcini & Flor's delightful new year lunch. I am not a fan of singing and yet again managed to avoid using the microphone, which was a real relief. But what I did manage was rather more food than I usually do and (perhaps) a little less booze.

Corcini can be seen on our website at parties in Malaysia and we had lost touch, bumping into each other again years later here in Singapore. By then he was a married man, and I feel he has been just as lucky as I since she a lady of great charm.

We had a great time with them and others and Corcini amazed me by phoning others from our time in Malaysia so that I suddenly found myself talking to Joy and Ris in Dubai, who we had got along with so

well, for so long, some years ago.

Of course there were also children there, this boy on the left amusing me by his less than subtle method of disguising his lifting sweets from the box. And the young lady on the right being most annoyed with me until I permitted time for her to redo her hair for this photograph.

Besides those of us in the construction business a number of Flor's nursing colleagues dropped by. Since it is Mount E that I usually attend I was pleased to see such a pleasant collection of clearly skilled nurses, and I was even given permission to address the Sister as Mary. However I bet if I am ever in her ward I will not be allowed to reject injections (How I Hate Needles) based just upon that!
