Easter Update
Tickets for the 7s were duly secured - there was even an excess as a number of offers of tickets were made in the final few days. I went on the Friday night after a very mixed day at work (extended deadline needed on one of the projects but also a gift hamper for a seminar I had presented the previous week - most unusual). I met up with an old contact of mine from London for a quick chat and a beer and then off to the South Stand for more beers and revelry. I was wildly over-dressed - absolutely no need for a sweater!
Saturday I took A. up in the morning and ran in to K. and we all spent an enjoyable morning perched high in the stands enjoying the rugby. Later A. was royally entertained by L and his new wife A as well as L's father who was also over for the rugby. A came away with a number of Coca Cola tattoos (which took app proximately 1 week to remove ( - a bit embarrassing particularly the one on his forehead - E. forbade any further tattoos). E. came along in the afternoon and took A. home and I met up with N and G.
Took A up on Sunday with K and J and we spent a great day watching including a superb match between Fiji and New Zealand in the semis which included a fabulous one end of the pitch to the other try by Fiji at the end.
Again horrendously busy at work but managed to catch our flight to Singapore on the Thursday to see K & G. Very relaxing Easter break including BBQs and an Easter egg hunt with their children. I came back on the Monday but didn't get up to much other than work due to cold etc. and returned to Singapore on the Thursday night. Day at Sentosa Beach on the Friday with A. and M. which was very pleasant although slightly disconcerting to see literally hundreds of tankers and cargo ships moored just offshore. We also got caught in a spectacular thunderstorm which required a "three caterpillars" story to take the kids attention away from the lightening and thunder.
Arrive back in HK on Sunday evening and have hardly stopped since at work with various meetings etc. to deal with yesterday and today.
Now planning a return to Blighty for a combined 4/40/80 birthday party in June so much to organise.
