Saturday Steamboat, Sunday Tennis

What a pleasure it is when a two day weekend coincides with pain free days. Alistair was on a sleepover and we had an SMS come in to say he could be collected a bit later than expected, so we took advantage of collecting him after lunchtime to get ourselves over to the Sheep, in the Bugis area.

This is a steamboat restaurant belonging to a colleague's sister (indeed to the the sister of the colleague who so kindly made sure I got home safely the night before) and they really seem to get the best ingredients and to make to soup (or stock) to the best flavour. But it is not Alistair's favourite so it is nice to be able to get there together (with a feeling of being on a date!). And, with no pain coming from my poor stomach, I can really relax and enjoy Alice's company.

The plan was a bit of a lazy day with today (Sunday) showing far more energetic activities. So we got up reasonably early ready to hit the boardwalks by the MacRitchie Reservoir, which gives sights of monkeys such as to the right, only to discover that the women's tennis finals was on. Kim has finally got her Grand Slam win! We still have to watch her previous match against Sharapova, so what with needing to cook a fresh batch of chilli I figure the walking is out today.

But still, no pain and enjoying being with the family!
