Perth late Saturday Night

Have been to Bingo tonight with a couple of my friends,and "Yes", I had a call ! I picked up $20 but I still didn't win!! By the time I shared my win with Lola I still ended up losing $13.But it's a cheap night out, so I'm not complaining.
Well we have "The Red Bull Air Race" being run here in Perth over this week-end, and in-case you don't know what that is, it's an air race with small planes like Spitfires competing from all over the world. Quite spectacular from all I hear. I would very much like to see it, but a crowd of 300,000 are expected to watch it tomorrow so trying to park the car would be a night-mare. The Air-race is being run over the Swan River, so a lot of the roads are being closed off and that means a long walk to see anything. I'll see how I feel about it tomorrow. It's going to be warm tomorrow too, I think the temp. is fore-cast at being 30degs. Oh dear , summer really is on the way.
My computer is still "Sick" but I am going to try and put a few more photos on this blog tonight. My friend Dave has lent me his spare computer and it doesn't seem to like me working on my blog, I've tried a couple of times to up-date this blog and been kicked off the net. Let's hope it doesn't happen tonight !! I'll try and get another couple of photos on it. Have sat here waiting for the photos to upload with no luck , my patience has run out so I am going to go to bed. To anyone reading this.............Good-night !

Here I am again with a few pictures of Singapore and Perth, hope you like them. The piccies of Singapore were taken from the 21st floor where my room was, so they're not very good, sorry about that !!!
The photos of Perth and environs was taken last Sunday when it was very overcast and stormy looking. I'll take some more photos when the weather is brighter.
Have to go now, work beckons !
