Hari Raya Puasa, Eid ul-Fitr; 1 Syawal, 1446
06.55
Just completed the Dawn Prayer after donning my baju raya. Now sipping on a milo, which feels happily transgressive somehow, even though it very happily isn't. Will be on our way to the second session for Hari Raya Prayers at Masjid Darussalam quite soon - but should happily have time for a big coffee - my first for a month - ahead of that.

Noi has just invited one or two other folk around, beyond the expected guests from family. She advised Boon to bring a container. Sounds like she's been cooking on an epic scale. But since she stayed up all night doing 'stuff' - as she is wont to do every year on the eve of Raya - this is not exactly news.

Our first tranche of guests have been sent happily on their way(s). Now preparing for Part 2 of the proceedings. It's all go!

And having said farewell to the second tranche of well-fed visitors there's just time to wish everyone everywhere Eid Mubarak! and we're off to a brief sojourn in the Land of Nod.

Hi Mr. Conner!
This is incredibly random, but I was packing my stuff and came across your autograph to me! You taught us EL and Lit in TKGS back then. I was wondering how you are doing so I googled and found this blog! So nice to see your photos and glad to know all is well:)

Very nice of you to drop in, Rebecca. Hope my lessons weren't too traumatising for you and your class!
