Well, it looks like the plan has changed again. The numbness in my face has improved, but still in a bit of pain and the dentist says he'd rather not go messing about with it until it stops hurting - probably the end of next week, which is the time I should be getting on a plane if I'm to get to Europe. So I think I'm just going to accept it's not going to happen and aim for a week in Malaysia with my friend Su. If I can manage a week and a half, then I might even try to spend a few days in Singapore too. I'm sure that would be good for a little retail therapy to dampen the sense of loss!

So still playing with the camera a bit - today's experiment was with spot metering, which yielded this shot of the QVB with quite a nice bit of detail, even though the light was behind it. I had been hoping to capture the lovely scuddy clouds that were whizzing about, but unfortunately they'd sort of whizzed right by by the time I managed to get out the camera and work out how to change the metering because the normal metering setting was underexposing the building. Oh well. In the end, it was a case of making a decision between artistic dedication and actually catching the bus I'd waited half an hour for and I'm afraid I went with the bus...
