First week back

After a very busy and enjoyable 3 weeks touring around Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and England we arrived back in Singapore on Tuesday night. I am so far behind with my blog and I have posted a number of photos on Facebook so I am not going to include the holidays at this point. Suffice to say it was a great mixture of friends, family, touring in a group and some "time for just the 2 of us. We needed to return to Singapore to have a rest!
Fortunately Wednesday was a public holiday for the end of Ramadan so I had an extra day up my sleeve to rest. On Wednesday night we caught up with holiday stories from Libby, Eric, Helen and Peter at Sque Bar. 
On Thursday morning we ventured out on the Rail Trail with June and Peter, so Michael could get his usual Thunder Tea Rice fix at the Rail Mall.
Before the holidays Kathy and Helen had given us a lunch invitation to celebrate my birthday so we met up at Roosevelts at Outram Park. Their new menu had some unusual offerings including the squid ink waffle, with salmon, that Michael ordered...oddly it was topped off with maple syrup. Kathy and Helen thought that the year year on the convertible number plate was very auspicious!

As Robert, Maria and Elizabeth had  been in Borobodur for the long weekend our first chance to catch up with them was over dinner at Wild oats after work on Saturday night. 
The working week ended with 'back to work' drinks at Wine Connections in Cuppage, a new venue for most of us. 
By the end of Sunday night holiday seemed like a distant memory and we were back in to the routine of Singapore life.
