COVID19 Book the Covid Tests Plane tickets are booked, next we need the Covid Tests. We need negative PCR Covid Tests in order to get on a plane departing for Canada. In theory this is easy in Singapore; in practice it's a little bit complicated.
COVID19 Book Pandemic Flights Ask the usual question of when do we want to leave; or rather what date should we arrive? Realize there are a lot more questions than usual to consider here.
COVID19 Pagoda Street I've been though Chinatown a few times lately on a week day. This busy tourist spot was deserted. Which isn't surprising, since Singapore hasn't seen tourists in well over a year.
COVID19 Prepared for more We're in theory 1/2 way through our month of Covid restrictions. But to be honest, we're expecting restrictions will likely last much longer - at least in some form.
Homeschooling May Homeschooling Highlights Here's our homeschooling highlights from May. Half the month was business as usual and the other half was in Covid restrictions which continue.
COVID19 One Week in Restrictions It's been almost a week since the enhanced restrictions started up again in Singapore. For the most part, it's been fine.

COVID19 Stay at Home It finally happened, we've been issued our first official "Stay at Home Notice."

COVID19 New Normal We've made it out of social distancing, and just like that I like Singapore again.
COVID19 SDL Day 86: Phase 2 is coming Friday June 19, 2020 is a big day for us! The start of Phase 2!
COVID19 SDL Day 82 - Out Together We are allowed out of the house with our household's now. Of course, we still have nowhere to go, because businesses are still closed.
COVID19 SDL 77: Embracing Change It took more than 10 weeks of Lockdown to convince Jonathan to rearrange the living room, but I did it.
COVID19 SDL Day 74: Essential Hair Services I was able to get my hair cut and the stylist was polite enough to not even comment on how I obviously cut my own hair in Lock Down.

COVID19 SDL Day 67 - The Consulate I've been finding the emails I receive from the Canadian Consulate in Singapore really disconcerting.
COVID19 Pre-COVID19 People have been posting their "last" pre-COVID-19 photo. I thought I'd take a peek at our photos and see what I found. Here's a compilation of our "last" pre-COVID-19 photos.
COVID19 SDL Day 64 - Too Much Tech We are all spending too much time on technology. The adults are as bad as the kids.
COVID19 Unintended Consequences Mosquito control is a serious thing in Singapore. Especially because Singapore is having a bad year for Dengue Fever - double last years' cases.

COVID19 SDL Day 61 - Prom Queen We were in need of some serious fun after hearing that Singapore will start a very slow transition to opening up.
