Back to Work

Since returning from our break in Thailand I have spent quite a bit of time getting my blog started. I hope any readers will bear with me while I come to grips with it.
It was straight back to work for me and in no time at all the holiday seemed a distant memory. After a busy first week we met up with a small group of walkers on Monday morning to do the Bishan to Ang Mo Kio stroll. It was quite a pleasant morning and we finished up with lunch at Ang Mo Kio Hub.

When we arrived home it was time to take a nana nap before heading over to Robert and Maria's for dinner. Maria had gone to a lot of trouble to organise a low residue meal as I was preparing for a colonoscopy later in the week...it was, of course, delicious. We had planned to organise our holiday to Bali when mum is here but a few wines later we decided it was probably not the best time to be making such decisions.
On Tuesday we took Peter's offered vouchers to go Prawning in Punggol. Unfortunately he was unable to join us but a group of us made our way out, only to be told that the business had changed hands the day before and they were not going to honour the vouchers. I became a little stubborn and they relented which resulted in 6 of us catching the grand total of 7, yes, 7 prawns in 1 hour! Luckily for us some local gentleman had had a great morning and having already eaten their fill, approached June with a large container of their leftovers, as well as some already cooked ones so we all enjoyed quite a feed. We followed this up with a dinner at our local hawkers then back to our place for a night of cards.

Duncan managed to brighten our day, even from such a long way away, by sending us news that he had received a Dean's Commendation for High Achievement for attaining a grade point average of 6.6 or higher, placing him in the top 4.02 percent for the first semester of 2014. Congratulations all round!

Thursday morning saw me trying hard to drink the pre-procedure liquids in the allocated time, while Robert and Maria came over to have lunch and sort our weekend away. It is now all booked and we will be heading off to Bali in October for 3 days.
The procedure went as well as these things ever do, but the good news is that all appears to be fine. I was very pleased to finally have a decent meal!
