Hallo Saums

How? We're vegging in the house today after braving the dhaathu crowds yesterday. Bill had this mad idea to have lunch at the Queens, completely forgetting that all approaches to it will be swamped by the white-clad hoards. Beat a hasty retreat to Revan's and had a low-fy but very nice chinese meal; Now that the dhaathu gazing has been called off, we'll go for a drive in the morning before heading to Dambulla.

Did some work today before I become completely useless. Needless to say Bill is grumbling quietly about being bored out of his brains with the holiday. Got totally fed up with buffet food at Bentota so the simple home cooked meals were a delight here. This is a nice place for a work retreat -- surrounded by trees, quiet and calm, with wifi! Must come here and write my book after I divorce or kill bill:-))!!

Lunch sounds good. Neela wants lamprais, Sugi akki and MS wants buriyani, Abhi and family to confirm. Only Eva and Anush left to invite. Unless you already have? Bill will buy the wine, don't worry.

Sugi akki has arranged for Mike to play golf at 6.30 on Tuesday with Balendran (or his friend who can actually play). The ladies (and Bill) will join them for breakfast afterwards. You'll come if you're free no?

To load your plate further -- please buy one of those SLFUW tickets for the dinner do on Saturday. They're on Ammi's desk. I will be going soon after I return from Dambulla, and Naj too. Sigh.

Now Bill and Mike are playing cards, and Audrey is sitting at the door waiting for the monkeys to make an appearance; see pictures attached!

love
