Time for a little Shakespeare

Having had to work for this entire week, when my Thursday afternoon ended up looking relatively empty I jumped at the chance to rearrange a couple of meetings and take the afternoon off for a bit of extra girly mooching around time with Erin before the weekend finally arrived!

Pink, pink and more pink

The sun was back out in full force today (thankfully – grey days in Singapore are a bit tricky when you’re on your own and you don’t really have anything much to keep you entertained!) so Erin had spent her morning through to around 2pm out by the pool and topping up her tan. By the time I got home it was time for another round of dim sum (it’s just too tasty not to) and then a little girly session at the pinkest, fluffiest, and cosiest nail bar that we could find in the area around the flat. I’m sad that Erin didn’t opt for any of the nail art – Hello Kitty logos on each finger would have been delightful. For a while.

Wine and nibbles at Fort Canning 

Once we were all beautified and good to go it was then time to rush back to the flat and grab our picnic essentials ready for an evening of culture watching The Tempest at Shakespeare in the Park. Last year they were showing The Merchant of Venice, and it was great fun. The Tempest isn’t really quite as fun, so it was a bit of a strange performance from start to finish. Still, we had another lovely catch up with Kev and Jules, and there was a picnic with wine, hummus and pizza, so we certainly were not complaining too loudly!

This is going to be our last night out and about with Erin in Singapore. Tomorrow we’re off to Phuket for a chilled out few days at the beach. I am very much hoping that the days are sunny and breezy and that the evenings are cool enough to keep at least some of the mosquitos at bay, but we’ll have to see how we get on. Either way it will be nice to be able to spend the full day with Erin just mooching around and catching up, and I always love to be at The Village, so it will be amazing to be back there for a while too. It always feels a bit like coming home, and as Stuey has even offered to pick us up from the airport, it promises to be a lovely return to the island.
