What can I say about this week – I was very busy every day, staying until after 10 each night except Friday, when I only stayed until 9:00. Had training, went to a meeting, did some writing, had some meetings, it was all right. Didn’t write at all on my novel. Oh well…
Had a very nice weekend. Went to the open house of the local primary school. Very chaotic inside, with booths galore, prizes, MCs playing guess-the-name-of-this-song with old Dylan and Johnny Cash songs. Not too bad, but hopelessly out of date – those songs were “grandpa’s generation” for the kids actually attending the school. Went home ate, napped, went swimming, slept. But not early enough – I was still exhausted from my long week of 20 overtime hours. Got nothing done.
Sunday we woke up early, headed off to the botanical garden to eat breakfast. Looked like it would rain, but it didn’t. The front part, which has been in development for nearly four years, seems nearly finished. We walked through part of it, very nice. Went on the 77 bus – Naoko went to Cold Storage to buy stuff for tonight’s party, we went off to west mall to do one of those vinyl paintings that Zen loves to do so much, bought him Disney’s Tarzan on VCD, then headed home. Zen ate, watched the movie, then napped. We tidied and got ready for our guests. They came at 5:00, Zen and I went swimming with Robin and baby Ian, then Zen and I cycled off to see the Malaysia train. We picked up satay on the way home, then there was lots of eating and drinking and hanging out. Lovely evening. They headed off at 9:00 or so, and we got to sleep at a reasonable time…
Action shots of me and the airplanes. Zen is the photographer. Nice visual sense…
