Central in Daylight

Yesterday I decided to see if I could go up to the Viewing platform of the IFC2 building to have a look but although visiting the rooftop garden of the IFC mall which overlooks the harbour I found I needed my passport to get near the IFC2 proper (Which I did suspect would be the case anyway). Instead I decided as I had the camera gear with me anyway, i'd take some pics around the local central area, I've taken a few in the evening but not really during the day as i'm usually off and away somewhere.
The days in Central are very very busy which is why i'm usually out of there but I had a good walk around and got not only pics of the metropolis area but also a lot of the more traditional smaller streets.The sun just happened to come out with avengence in the afternoon which meant that by the time I was finished I was absolutely soaked in sweat as I'd put on some combats expecting a breezy overcast day.
After making it home to meet up with Em and grabbing a shower and some food we headed for the wheel for quiz night, A lot of the regulars were not there but after hearing that last week was such carnage with a rather large piss up happening we did expect that maybe this week would be a little calmer. Bottle of vodka and second place, that'll do nicely. Got 3 bottles in the fridge now which'll do nicely for gifts for housekeeping and others when we leave!!. See, We don't really drink as much as some would think, indeed out of all the bottles we've won in our time here we only opened one of the vodka's for one drink when Andrew was here, And have opened the Red wine to use when cooking!!. The rest is still completely untouched!!...Honest!!!.
We didn't stay too long after the quiz as on the weekend Em had been bitten by a mosquito again and it had come up to the size of a large orange!!. Luckily the local chemist had recommended her taking some antihistamine and using some Hydrocortisone on it which luckily we had both of, And as a result it's much much better today. However I think it would be safe to say that Em is probably allergic to mosquito bites!!!.
