Life rolls on. I realized I haven’t written a generic post in a while. Our weeks are mundane (school and activities) punctuated by things of interest. Our grown up social life is definitely driven by food and restaurants. Last weekend we had a big week, 2 nights out in a row. Took me 3 days to recover! 9:30 has become my bedtime of choice. This weekend, the kids are busier but the grownups are more low key which is good. Here’s a little snapshot of the past week.
Friday we went over to a friends house to have dinner with the Fairfield county crew! We now have 2 families from Fairfield, 1 from Westport and 1 from Darien we are friends with. It was fun to get them all together and talk about home and Singapore. 2 of the families are new to Singapore since January and our friends Jim & Sally have been home twice now to see their kids. We realized Ryan and I were the only ones who haven’t been out of Singapore since before Covid and were the only ones who had never been swabbed for covid. We are really are sheltered…
Team Morris (a little hung over from too much Friday night) 
Match 1 with Karin & Mike. 1-8. Happy we got 1 on the board. They were a study in consistency 
Match 2, just lost, 5-6 vs Maria and Chris. Chris had a wicked slice/spin situation. Next time I’ll be ready for that! 
Final match 8-6 vs Ulrica and Anders. We played right through the rain and had a blast!
The bar at Native. Brewing up all sorts of tinctures 
Drink #1 (this is what a S$25 drink looks like) 
Drink #2 “Smoked Longon”

To buy or not to buy? 
Tennis match on Thursday. Tough match but we were happily victorious. 
Picked up our new government issued face masks. 
Thinking about peranakan tile for a backsplash at home….
This most recent weekend was low key. Friday night Liam and Avery had friends over and we had a proper American cook out (cheese burgers, corn, watermelon). Saturday Liam went for an epic sleepover birthday party (11am Saturday-5:30pm Sunday!). Saturday we had dinner by the pool with condo friends. Also on Saturday, Avery was awarded her yellow belt in taekwondo. We thought she was just going to get her yellow tape, so she was so excited to have earned her full belt ahead of time. She’s really taken to taekwondo. It’s wonderful to see a child love an activity so much. It was a fun weekend.

Last week I panic bought us a trip on the royal Caribbean “cruise to nowhere”. We leave Thursday the 25th and return the 29th. So excited to leave the island. Everyone we know who has done it, loved it, so hopefully we feel the same. The kids are so excited and it feels nice to have something to look forward to. Stay tuned for that post!

So curious to hear how your cruise to nowhere goes!!! Will certainly be following the journey!
