This year we have been really lucky with
most of the Singapore public holidays. Almost all of them have fallen on either
a Monday or a Friday, which has made for plenty of glorious long weekends
(unlike last year when the majority were silly mid-week days off).
There
are just two that do not fit in nicely alongside the weekend. One coming up in
November, and Hari Raya, which was Thursday.
A lot of our Singapore friends headed home to
the UK for the long weekend – it seems there was a flurry of weddings this
week, and then with a number of the boys being lucky enough to get tickets to
the Rugby World Cup, that left just a small handful of us here in Singapore.
The result being that Hari Raya was a gloriously empty and very chilled out
day.

| Wedmin - go go go! |
Nick
had volunteered for a day of “wedmin”, and that is precisely what he got. In
the few hours that we set aside for wedding planning we sorted out our table
names, we completed a load of paperwork for the venue and our photographer, we
followed up with suppliers on some points that we have left unsorted for a
little bit too long and we generally made it a lot further through out To Do
List, which was ideal.

| A narrow escape |
Things
very almost went off the rails when we went out to buy healthy supplies for
dinner and we got distracted by the newly opened Hamleys, where Scalextrics was
on sale and Nick was desperate for a new toy. Somehow we managed to keep
ourselves on the straight and narrow and returned home with nothing other than
salmon and salad, but after such a productive morning, it was a close shave!
