In other social news this week, on Monday night we enjoyed having dinner with Chris Wignall, Fiona Lane and Michelle Tan from HP. Fiona has just moved here while Chris was visiting briefly to help Michelle and I deliver a training course. We took them to No Signboard seafood restaurant in Geylang which is a much more "local" scene. Michelle, being a local, ordered for us - chilli crab, cereal crayfish, spicy bbq prawns, tofu and kang kong (veges).
On Tuesday night we had number 4 of an 8-week beginners Salsa class. We are doing it with our friends David and Jackie and it's been lots of fun. After class the four of us generally go out for dinner together although last night it was just me and Lucinda. We went to a new Italian restaurant which had a nice atmosphere and delicious pizza and salad. Didn't see any Italians though...
Later on Tuesday night, Andrew was a welcome arrival for another visit. He's here until Friday so we're enjoying being social with him (at home...and right now all three of us are working...but anyway, it's great to have him here).
It is good that you throw yourselves enthusiastically into whatever world you are in. It will not last forever, but no doubt will give you something to remember when you move on.
ReplyDeleteI have been looking at the minor prophets Jonah and Nahum. Jonah relucantly warns the Ninevehs to repent and to his surprise and disappointment they do. (The Ninevites were a cruel and intolerant nation hated by the Jews)
However, 120 years later they have returned to their old ways and Nahum predicts their violent demise - which of course happen. Really the 2 books are a demonstration of God's character. In Jonah God is patient and showing much grace. But in Nahum, God shows how complete his judgment can be on those who turn their back on him. A sobbering reminder for us all.
I trust Andy has delivered Alice's present from us. love Jim
