Hello all! So, clearly I haven’t posted in a long time. This is because, as you probably know, Alex and I are in London for now! We are loving the lack of humidity, rediscovering Waitrose, and ...
So – guess what? We are in London! It has been fantastic so far – the weather has been unexpectedly gorgeous, and several lovely things have happened. But, all in good time – if I may, I will rewind ...
First things first: I am really sorry that I haven’t posted for so long. There are three reasons for this. The first is that, with the move back to London which is imminent (this weekend) we have bot...
My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen. We have some news for you. No, we are not getting married, having a baby, or adopting reams of children from third world countries, although that would be fun. No R...
One of my favourite things about being in Phuket is that it is very hard to have a bad old grumpy day when you wake up to a view like this: When I am in Singapore, I am much more likely to wake up to...
This past week has been absolutely wonderful for two reasons: 1. I have been on holiday… 2. …because my parents flew into Singapore last week to visit me! Woohoo! Now, Mummy and Daddy Wil...
So, this past week, lucky old Banker’s Wife has been stuck in Hong Kong whilst the Banker is on a business trip. Before she left she issued strict instructions that none of us were to have too much f...
Before I moved to Singapore, I will freely admit that I had a few preconceptions about Singaporean ladies. I imagined all Singaporean ladies to be: 1. Petite and thin… 2. …with long flowi...
This week, I have been suffering from a recurring problem which is to be fully expected when living overseas – that of the ever-present language barrier. True, English is spoken pretty much everywher...
I have a confession to make. I love to Luge. If I could be a professional luger, I would. Luging, for those of you who have not had the great good fortune to experience it yet, is in itself a reason ...
There is a problem in Singapore common amongst many expat wives and girlfriends – that of cash. It’s not so much the lack of it, per se; it’s the lack of access to it. You see; when a lot of couples ...
I have spent the past few days at work in Phuket, following our trip. Now, the really good thing about working in Thailand and living in Singapore is that Phuket is under an hour and a half’s plane j...
‘Seven days, six islands, five dives and a lot of beer’ was how our friend Stu described our recent mini-holiday. I can’t really think of a better way to put it! So, from the beginning. My first birt...
One of the best things about being in Singapore is that we get to celebrate the New Year not once, but twice – once on the 31st of January, and once on the 2nd of February, which is when Chinese New ...
Firstly – apologies once again for the recent depression-fest masquerading as a blog post. This one will be better, you have my word. Before I start, I’d like to share an adorable picture that was se...
There is a nasty little bug that has reared its head recently (and no, it’s not the giant cockroach that invaded my bath last week). I keep on trying to banish it, but it comes back again with a veng...
So – I’ll cut to the chase. This past weekend was pretty much all about FOOD! Most of my friends seem to be on detoxes post-Christmas. Whether it’s cutting down on the booze or existing solely on a d...
