Third time lucky... I keep losing my postings hmmmm

I spent another weekend alone in Singapore, as no sooner had Simon arrived home on Wednesday night (after missing his early morning flight) than he had to leave again on Thursday afternoon for 3 days work in HK.

My week was busy yet mostly uneventful. A quick drink on Thursday night with Tim, Leo, Tamara, Thomasine and Ellen turned into a few too many and I got home tired at 11pm. Friday we were flat out, flitting from one assignment to the next and then meetings that I hadn't even expected just happened and ate up more of our day. A late meeting ended t 8pm so after one Gin and Tonic and a Tuna Toastie at Beaujolais (mmm) I headed home to get a good nights sleep. I woke late the next day well 10.30 so at least I had a small sleep in then dragging myself out of bed I aimed for the Supermarket with my trusty camera in tow as usual. A huge buy up of all the staples and I attempted to shop for "other things" but to no avail... nothing was begging me to take it home and a bit dejected I walked home. A swim, a bake and 2 hours of Harry Potter 4 ( the fat one) late I felt much more relaxed and "weekended".

Home in time for the supermarket delivery man, half of "the Graduate" on DVD, a snooze on the couch and then a walk around the block to pick up one last thing for my dinner. I made "Vichysoisse" fot the unititiated that means Potato and Leek Soup. So I was eating that, with hot buttered toast in front of "Dirty Dancing" on cable when Sharon resucued me with an inviation to the cinema. Saw "Unfaithful" with Sharon, Marina and Chas and Chas's comment of the night was. "I can't believe I am seeing a Richard Gere film with 3 women". The film? Quite good though obviously cnesored for Singapore a little. The story? For thoses who haven't seen it I'll try not to give too much away but suffice to say... she meets by accident a gorgous younger man with a body to die for and an amazing foreign accent who she embarks on a dangerous and erotic affair with. Yes he has oecs, yes he makes her laugh but does he have a brain? I'm not so sure. That aside her scene on the train trip home is oscar winning material.
(but only that scene). Later Richard Gere has a questionable "From Dusk till Dawn" moment and then !@#$%^&*.......... hmmmmm out of 10? 5 from me anyhow.

Home by 12, then doing some work online instead of sleeping.
Sunday? up earlyish than to Blood Brothers cafe for brunch with Sharon and Sarah. (MMMMM Rice Pilaf with Beetroot and Pumpkin as usual). Then Mahjong at Junes house. Losses? this week only 30 cents :) at home again I tidied the house for the week (and Simon's return).
He did finally get home at 9pm, so Vichysoisses later and a few episodes of "Sex and the City season 3 on DVD" later I finally went to bed.... ready for a new week.
