The robot has arrived! Haier SWE-T321 the golden one! I choose this because of its wet mop function and I am not disappointed. It can clean the floors well enough for me. It did need a nudge here and there when it got stuck at some corners or wall. And look at its name - Haier Pathfinder Vacuum Cleaner Robot. Doesn't the box look 'Apple'-ish? Contents Charging Proof of work done It has a HEPA filter too.

I saw some Affandi paintings up close during my visit to the gallery on Sunday. It's great to rediscover this artist. The turmoil of brush strokes, the energy of raw blobs of paint, he mixed in sand too. It's amazing to see the picture emerge so strong from all that texture. There was a painting of a hand showing the fragility of life. Could look at this one again. I am sure I missed something at that first view.

I never paid much attention to Picasso's animal paintings before. Then, I saw the Cat and the Rooster at National Gallery Singapore's exhibition 'Reframing Modernism'. I really like it. Now, I search a bit more and Picasso did quite a few pieces on this theme. I would be looking out for them from now on. https://www.centrepompidou.fr/cpv/ressource.action?param.id=FR_R-33fa4a14790bd6c4c12701fedaf699d&param.idSource=FR_O-d3dcb4967f8649332ebf68154a1a2d8

I am eyeing this one ... it does wet mop too.

I first noticed these words in a novel. Only the first three lines as the writer was describing a fear and restlessness but not a seeking of the divine. I looked for them later and there they were, in the Service Book in church. Part of the Evening Prayer, it may seem out of sorts for us city dwellers with lights everywhere, all the time. But, the night is still there, darkness still in us. These writers of old, they write so well. Or maybe they just knew their God better. in your mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night
