Family Fun

The Kennett family stayed with us for a couple of days so Paquita could run her first half marathon. Matt unfortunately only saw them one night before he had to leave for China. The kids all played great together creating dance shows, circuses, plays and art galleries. We enjoyed some of Singapore's highlights including a boat ride along the river and the lights on Orchard Road. While Paquita and my friend Jackie ran the race, Glenn and I found ourselves responsible for seven children. We dressed them all in green so that we could identify our little cheer squad members easily. Paquita's time was 2 hours 12 minutes but although we were at the finish line we never saw her as it is such a crowded race that about 10 people pass the line each 10 seconds so you can easily miss people. We saw Jackie though as she was in hot pink and she also spotted all the green people and came to kiss her kids before running across the line! Not a good run to try for a personal best because of the crowds.
















Glenn also managed to have a reunion with ex-girlfriend Tamsin over skype. Tamsin has quite a good choice in blokes - that's the second of her ex-boyfriends that's dropped by this year!
