Noi stayed up to some unearthly hour last night/this morning doing wonderful things to bones and other eatables and watching the election results. She appears quite pleased about the result in Aljunied, where the ruling party lost in quite a major seat (this involving no fewer than five MPs, it being a curious beast known as a Group Representation? (Representative?) Constituency), though she is managing to feel sorry for some of the guys who lost there as they seem quite decent chaps in their way. I've got a feeling that her reaction will be fairly typical of that of lots of residents here, citizens and non-citizens alike.
Changes are afoot in the polity - fortunately attended at this point by a sense of civility from most involved.
But the important things in life go on: our little place is redolent with the odour of dem bones and the gorgeous gravy in which they stew, the kitchen over-heating with the sheer oomph of it all. And we'll be overwhelmed with young eaters this evening, so all is as it should be.
