When Safe & Sound Is Sane Enough
Me: Thank goodness we are not meeting today. I just got out from a long meeting.
Mr Dimples: That's horrible. Good that you are safe and sound.

Safe and sound?! This is the second time in a week I have had that from him. The first context is correct ie he was glad I'm back safe and sound from Tokyo as he knew an earthquake had happened during the period I was there. Safe and sound emergence from a long meeting feel excessively indulgent, if not entirely relevant :(
We shifted dinner to tonight.
Addendum: He wanted to make his virgin trip to the Orchard library before it exited from the book scene permanently (some say prematurely too but I think it's about time. The selection is small and it's hogging precious retail space). We picked up a few books to flip through and demonstrate to each other how we did our undergraduate research. It's tragic but the library couldn't hold Mr Dimples' attention very long and we left after 15 minutes (very possibly less). After which we wandered into a shop selling toys for toddlers and spent a much longer time there (0_0) The wooden toys for children are really quite fun in the old-fashioned way but the prices sent us reeling (not that we were even thinking of buying but they were that expensive). We ended up in Imperial Treasure Nan Bei after realising we have to wait for a table at the Crystal Jade Korean Ginseng Chicken & BBQ and had a nice table to ourselves.
Irony of the night -
Mr Dimples: I know you're not supposed to talk in the library. So message me, where is the library!
