- 17:06 off to the diocesan Board of Finance meeting...we have no money in Icelandic banks, thank God... #
- 20:30 @stephenfry : the additional stuff after the 6-character tinyurl code was unnecessary; deleting it gave me your location quite accurately. #
- 20:32 back from Board of Finance meeting; we are still solvent. there were fewer sandwiches, though. managed 3/4 sandwich and a coffee and banana. #
Oct. 16th, 2008
I am finally starting to pack for the trip tomorrow. I'm charging up all the electrics so that they'll last for the journey. I've got all my papers, money, and the like together. I'm thinking about getting my suitcase out and putting all the clothing in it. I need to remember handkerchiefs, several baseball caps, my Singapore money, my US dollars (for Cambodia, where they don't normally take the local currency), toiletries, medications (I don't want to forget any pills like I did last time!), and myself.
We're not leaving the house until about 2:30 pm tomorrow, but advance preparation is the key to ensuring that you don't forget anything at the last minute. I have a Deanery Synod tonight, which is annoying, as our friend Thai Mark is having dinner with HWMBO but I won't be able to go, and I may not see Thai Mark again until next year. In the year or so we've all known each other here, we've become very close and I'm sad that he has to leave the UK because of a silly mistake the British embassy in Thailand made and won't acknowledge. HWMBO flicked past one of those reality shows "UK Border Cops" or something very like that, and I just couldn't bear to watch it.
Anyway, I digress. I shall be in Singapore from Saturday afternoon through the next Friday, then off to Bintan and finally to Cambodia. Back in Singapore on November 1st and back to the UK on November 3rd. So time is limited. I was wondering if anyone could coordinate a dinner sometime over this weekend (Sunday before St. James?) or next week where all my LJ friends who wish to could come and say "hi!". I am tentatively free all next week in the evening, subject to whatever our hosts have in store, but I can always rearrange that stuff. I hope to be seeing some of you over the week (have already tentatively arranged Monday lunch with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
devinjay).
We will be landing at 2:20 pm on Saturday, 18th October. I look forward to seeing as many of you as I can over the next week.
