Out Of Season

We popped down to a very crowded Serangoon Road yesterday to get some Deepavali cards for our favourite gardener and other luminaries. Unfortunately we went by way of Orchard Road which was a lot more crowded than we expected traffic-wise, making progress to our destination rather slower than expected. But it did give us a chance to look at the lights for Christmas already in place around Tanglin Road. And then this evening we attended a Christmas Dinner. Reminder to the world: it's not yet the middle of October, people! It's possible to have too much of a good thing, ye gods of Commerce. (I'm dreading the carols starting up in the malls before we hit November.)
