So close

Are nearly in Singapore now although we all feel as though we should not count out chickens before they have hatched.

Last night in KL was most enjoyable as Alison, Gahni and Adrian (a Malaysian couple with son who are driving all around the world) took us to a friend's house just outside KL. We didn't realise before hand but we were actually being invited to a religious family and friend feast. Alison, Gahni, Adrian and our hosts couldn't have been nicer nor more hospitable; we left the friend's house completely stuffed but only left Alison and Gahni's home at 02:15. They had a pretty good Internet and coffee but kept trying to make us buy one of their tour t-shirts that apparently all their friends are buying. we were not falling for that one.
We also like to think we inspired many of their friends- at least when they saw larry and wilma they started talking and smiling a lot.

Now in the town of Malacca and looked into many of the antiques shops that are here.

We will cross the border either tonight or tomorrow.
When we get to Singapore we will really get in there with the photographs.
Just hang on in there- we would never, as some people might think (greg), abandon the blog.
At least I couldn't even if I tried.

I liked the jungle adventure. If only you had had a dog you could have been like the famous five.

I am expecting continuous news- 13th Nov. now surely you haven't lost your ability to tell us what you are doing. I have a 24 hr ecg machine on at the moment - it came to pieces in night but hopefully I have fixed it and it can be left off after I visit Harlow hospital this afternoon. Pickling onions today. Apple and ginger jam yesterday. Hope to see Clio and Kay this or next weekend. Your bowl of bulbs Loong are just peeping through. many leaves falling and more rain. Are you planning train return?
