BANANAS
BANANAS. That's how the last couple of days has been. Our Internet was BROKE for three. Monday's post ended up being Tuesday's. Tuesday's got lost and today's is almost tomorrow. BANANAS Eh?
Sorry Ali, but your no rain for a week if Friday has none theory - is definitely not. It's rained the last two mornings in a row and last night we had one of the wildest thunderstorms ever. That one shook the place. I wonder how many of PMC's 35+ newly installed lightning rods were hit.
Last night the Book Club group got together at my house. We had a great night. Good snacks, some really yummy chocolate with hot fudge sauce and a few too many bottles of really hard to find wine. And yes, we did discuss the book ....... along with a whole bunch of other stuff. Great night - thanks girls.
Yesterday was BIWA morning - Riyad from the diamond shop (GEMS BLUE SAPPHIRE) came by and gave us all a good lesson on diamond and gem shopping. The 4Cs - colour, cut, clarity and of course carat. Riyad has been in the business for years, and gets most of his gemstones direct from the mines south of here. His shop is pretty impressive. Every colour, shape and size of just about everything you can imagine and a whole bunch you've never even heard about. A good place to go when you have too much money..........maybe.
Yesterday was also a sad goodbye day for me, and the other Me and a few other people too. I HATE GOODBYES. Five years - times up I guess. Some very dear friends have moved on from here. We'll miss you lots. See you in KL. Be safe and have fun.
Monday? Hmmmm .......... I already forgot. Oh yeah, that was the "go to the printers day". And finish reading that really, really, hard, hard to read book. Good book, but a really hard read.
And then for TODAY: Today I took a friend out for lunch. We went to a new place - rather, a new place for me. D'GRILL. It's her 28th birthday. AGAIN. How does that work? And how come everyone seems to know she's 28? How can that be? Ok, it's her story - Happy 28th Birthday. Maybe we're all 28. Hmmmmm......could be?
Good to Go.
