Another week seems to have flown by, but when Roy announced: “I’m finish” yesterday afternoon, we both went into a little bit of a panic - what on earth was going to keep him occupied now! With the latest enhancements to both “Anchor Basic” and “Anchor Plus” approved and in production, the former completed yesterday morning, and with only three smallish yacht projects left for him to complete, two of which aren’t particularly strenuous, he’ll definitely have some time on his hands. With that, Elaine was quick to palm off one of our video projects, since Roy had captured the material for it this past weekend anyway. In the interim, Elaine completed both the “Magnolious Malaysia - Langkawi Archipelago” and “Magnolious Malaysia - Pangkor Island” videos in our Malaysia series on Tuesday and yesterday, respectively, and will hopefully get a chance to upload all the completed ones this weekend. That’ll leave one more in the series to finish before she gets back to her writing and painting again. She’s also spent some time on her special project, which should be completed in the next week or so.

Fortunately we’ve also had a thunderstorm every afternoon, which has definitely helped break the unbearable heat.

Since neither of us could keep our eyes open, for whatever reason, on Tuesday night, while watching a movie, we opted for an early night; the first one in ages. That, of course, meant we were both wide-eyed and bushy-tailed at sunrise and by 1000, Roy had completed his exercise walk and fixed our website issue with the email component, while Elaine had completed her stretch exercises on the transom, had resolved our latest medical insurance issues and completed all her chores. This was not a good idea as we then had the entire day to sit and look at each other. Fortunately we did have “musical chairs” for a little bit of entertainment, as various yachts were moved to different berths, given that Catamini had departed a few days ago. This turned out to be a much better option for us since the big motor yacht to our port side was moved and replaced with a smaller sailing yacht, giving us more of a view. Hey, we’ll take whatever we can get these days to change the monotony!

Today we woke to the news Keenan had eventually received his first COVID-19 vaccination, although it brought on a terrible migraine, which we hope subsides soon. For our outing today we returned to one of our favourite restaurants in Georgetown. It had also been months since we were in the UNESCO World Heritage area of the city and, that in itself, was a treat.

After a delicious lunch we wandered around Gurney Plaza, but finding cotton sheets and towelling slippers for Elaine was no easy feat. Fortunately we didn’t return empty-handed, but we learnt something in the process; Malaysia doesn’t sell top-sheets or flat-sheets, only fitted-sheets and shoe sizes are something of a swag; although her slippers are the same size from a numbering perspective, one style is too small and the other too big! Oh well!
