this weekend...

Has been a bit of a mixed bag.  We had friends arriving on Saturday, a girlfriend and her family we met through NCT pretty much 10 years ago, before our eldest children were born.  Unfortunately, they didn't realise that you need to have 6+ months left on your passport to visit Singapore, and one of them only had 4 months....... so at the moment, only 2 of them are here.  The other 2 will hopefully fly out tonight once the passport has been sorted out.  So, whilst we've been trying to make the most of it over here, and the 2 boys back home have been living it up, it hasn't turned out to be quite the weekend we'd expected.  That said, we still managed to enjoy ourselves and do the tourist thing.

Yesterday, I had breakfast in bed in honour of Mother's Day - there was even a flower (and a rose at that) on the tray.  Then we had brunch at The Fullerton, which, coincidentally, was where we were last year for Mother's Day (I can see a tradition emerging here which I'm more than happy to adopt!)  After we'd completely stuffed ourselves, we took a boat trip around Clarke Quay, Boat Quay and even up as far as the Merlion (piccies to follow later this week).  It's something we've been threatening to do for ages, but we thought we should save it for when we have visitors.  I'd definitely recommend it, if only so you can fully appreciate the beautiful bronzes of the river boys jumping into the river...

Wishing you all a Happy Monday - we're off to Universal for the day - yippee! xx
