A trip out this afternoon to MacRichie Reservoir. It was all a little late on in the day so we didn't stay too long. But what we saw we liked. The reservoir is surrounded on three sides by rain forest in the central catchment area of Singapore (ie where all the water collects). We took ourselves round part of the reservoir, past the fitness circuit, through a tiny bit of the rain forest and onto the boardwalk that you can see in the video. Mist was rising off the waters suggesting that it's probably pretty cold in there. Made for some lovely evocative shots though. Plenty of people out on the water canoeing. Looked a lovely place for some water sports. Spotted a water monitor lizard swimming to the opposite side of the water as soon as we got there. Must've heard D coming, he's not the most quiet at the moment! The kids seemed to enjoy it, even though we managed to leave one of D's shoes at home! Talk about planning. He didn't seem to mind running around bare-foot. What was very noticeable was the abundance of keep fit nuts running around. I haven't seen so many in one place since we got here. It must make for a great varied run and the scenery is always changing which stops you getting bored. Still won't catch me running though (well, you probably could frankly, but you know what I mean!). A lot of them were sporting what looked like Singapore marathon vests. That happens on 5 December. I'm quite interested to take a look as I should imagine it's quite a spectacle but I know nothing about it. Finally bought a carpet (a rug as we would call it in the UK). Boy does the place seek more homely already and a bit softer when the kids fall over). A bookcase is being delivered on Wednesday so we can finally see what we brought with us. Now I've just got to remember how to read again.
