More time in Johor Bahru. I have one more day in the downtown area, where I return to an old favourite café. I don't feel ready to leave JB yet, so move to another hotel 3 km away, so I can focus my attention on café-hopping. Plus, I spend lots of time at the local foodcourt.

I spend my last day in #Singapore visiting the Maxwell Food Centre and the Tiong Bahru housing development (and bakery) then head across the border to #JohorBahru, where I discover a couple of great cafés (more to come).

Walking Orchard Road isn't that great - lots of malls - but I do find a side street (and bar) of particular interest. I also make a quick visit to Arab Street and the Waterloo Centre (great beer, coffee and chicken curry).

I'm on the road again - for an indefinite period and with my destinations uncertain. I start in Singapore, where I have booked into a hostel for five nights. This post covers getting there and the first couple of days.

Walking out of the office on Friday knowing that you have vacation time and won't return until a week and a half in the future.

Time to relax and prep for a couple of days camping. No clear idea yet where, that depends on the weather forecast.

REFORM UK will take official command of Warwickshire County Council tomorrow (Friday) with no-one having the faintest notion of how the party will run the authority.

Although people have a rough idea of Reform’s policies at a national level, the party did not issue a manifesto for the county council elections on 1st May.
