My Week

It's quite a boring day today for me. Gaz is working, and I am at home. So I use this time to remember the things that have happened during the week.

I received an unexpected parcel from an overseas friend early in the week. It was a beautiful hand made diary, just nice to fit in my bag, and a hand made card. They are such thoughtful gifts from a childhood friend. Thank you, dear Harriet :)

Found out mid week that one of my colleagues will be leaving the team. It is a little sad since we were becoming closer to each other over the past two months.

Had pork belly sandwich in a cafe for lunch. It was awesome! Love the crispiness of the pork belly, but not a fan of the tangy apple slaw in the sandwich. I ate it, fat and all.

We had a farewell lunch at the end of the week for someone who has been with us for more than ten years. Seems like most of the people I have known since I started is slowing leaving. Felt a little nostalgic for the old times when we would cramp together in a small office, have a drink and pull each others legs.

Caught up with family yesterday and even had the pleasure of unwittingly hosting someone's birthday dinner! Gaz's cousin had brought along her friend, who is celebrating her actual birthday in a few day's time, but we thought we would celebrate it in advance with her anyway. I am glad they liked the dishes I prepared, though most of them looked presentable but were not totally edible. Like the okonomiyaki which was a little raw in the inside...

Gaz did the cleaning yesterday, and I did the shopping on Friday and yesterday so all I have to do today is to cook a couple of dishes for our lunches during the week. It's almost like Sabbath for me today!
