'Autumn' term in the tropics

Back to reality in Brunei after our summer holidays and Woozles is settling into school reasonably well. The weather has started to turn a little breezier and wetter and we have even had two cool, cloudy days when I forgot to turn the air-con in the bedroom off and had a distinctly chilly bedtime! Soon it will be time to watch out for floods and all the beasties which emerge from their hidey holes when water levels rise. So even though there is not an autumn here, we have definitely reached the transitional season. We will still have plenty of sunshine though in case you were worried about the weather when visiting!

This weekend has involved us eating our way around the local district. Friday night we were lucky enough to be invited to a Nepalese curry night, complete with momos (a momo is a yummy dumpling which I may just turn into), samosas and rice. Then yesterday after lunch out, we went to a buffet function hosted by His Nibs' rugby sponsor and had another plate full of satay, curry, salad and the like. Late last night at the leaving do of a dear friend I gorged on mango chicken and a selection of home-made cakes! Needless to say the post-holiday detox only really lasted 2 weeks and waistlines are bulging again! Gym and pool beckon.
