Sad to be missing out

The Birthday Girl 

Last night was the first big home night out that I have missed since moving to Singapore. It was Erin’s birthday (and if there is anyone who loves a good birthday celebration, it’s Erin!).

            It felt weird to be out for Singapore birthday drinks when the girls were all getting ready to go out and celebrate Erin’s birthday back in London but I had at least one gin in honour of her big day, and we also set up a Skype call for Saturday afternoon / morning.            

            With Erin having just woken up the morning after the night before, using tea as the main crutch to get her through the conversation, and me having just finished swimming, with wet hair, no make up and a very dodgy looking face, we had one of the least attractive catch ups you could imagine.

            Still, it was lovely to chat, to find out all the gossip and excitement that I had missed out on, and to get the full birthday summary. I think that with Skype, email, What’s App and all the other forms of communication at my disposal, it’s not too sad to be missing out on the big celebrations, but I guess I’m going to have to see how that progresses.

            Happy Birthday Erin! x
