Felicity and Alice have almost completed their first week of school at Avondale and have been given a warm welcome. Unfortunately Alice had a bad case of nausea (probably from dehydration) on Wednesday morning so had to stay home. She was back to school today feeling much better and looking brighter. The girls and I walk to the station from our house which takes 10 minutes, have a six minute train ride and then another 10 minute walk at the other end. On the way home it is pretty tiring and hot, and I produce snacks and treats along the way to keep everyone motivated. The girls like their teachers and are finding friends. Felicity has already been invited over to a friend's house for a play tomorrow.
Other news this week is my Grandpa, Arthur Fletcher, passed away aged 95. Just before flying out here we were fortunate to celebrate his birthday with him. Mentally alert and unapologetically English, he enjoyed telling me that Singapore owed its success to the British Empire. He led an active life, travelled extensively and at last count his descendants numbered 54 (5 kids, 16 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren so far).
Hi, Just letting you know we have been visiting and greatly enjoying the detail in your posts. Jack asks to check the blog most days and then has lots of questions about the content!
