Week 32: July 23 to 29

It's been a fairly quiet week this week, getting back into routines. Lachlan and Danae started After School Activities this week. This semester Danae does dancing on Mondays and netball on Thursdays and Lachlan does tennis on Wednesdays and soccer on Thursdays. With Ramadan, the traffic can be bad in the evenings so when they come home from ASAs on the late bus they can be 10 minutes late or an hour late.
I had a morning tea with some High Comm ladies on Tuesday morning, then some of us went on to have lunch at the Albion hotel, then did a little shopping. Tuesday night just as we came upstairs after a swim to get dinner ready we had a blackout in the whole building, so we went out for dinner and had sushi.
On Thursday all the defense people were invited to the High Commissioners residence for a medal presentation ceremony for one of the army guys who lives in Johor baru, followed by lunch.
Friday was pretty much the usual drinks by the pool.
We went out for breakfast Saturday morning, then Steve, Lachlan and Danae went to get Lachlan's haircut and I went to a furniture expo at the Convention Centre. In the afternoon Steve took the kids and Ryan to school for a parents and teachers versus high school students AFL game. Steve played full forward for three quarters and kicked 9 goals then he umpired the last quarter and Lachlan and Ryan ran boundarys. I had planned to go to some night markets with Louise from the High Comm, which is why I didn't go with them. The markets were good. After the football game Steve dropped Lachlan at Ryan's for a sleepover, and ended up staying for a drink. I got dropped off there as well and we stayed until about midnight.
Sunday was pretty quiet, Steve studied and Danae and I watched some master chef on the computer ( I already know who won from Facebook, but I'm still enjoying watching it. I'm about half way through). I picked up Lachlan and we went to Suzi's corner for dinner.
