We navigated our way under the eaves of available buildings as the rain was both long and heavy. With one small umbrella between us we had to wait on the porch of Lucky Plaza until the rain eased.
Watching the lengthy taxi queue snake its way along Orchard road was entertainment in itself.
The weather has been quite unseasonal. June and July are usually hot months but this year they have been very wet and the trend continues.
This rain must be playing havoc with the showering arrangements of foreign workers in Mandai who, according to the Electric New Paper, have been living in shipping containers and using "makeshift showers created out of water tanks and pipes which snaked along the length of the canal"
Our mission late morning took us to Takashimaya's centre court where row after row of earnest sales staff cajoled us to try abalone macadamia, D24 durian ice-cream and other challenging delights. For the record the ice-cream was delicious.
