Yet again another rainy Saturday afternoon – bugger! We’d stayed in in the morning as I needed to “create” another meal for the new cook book (coming on well by the way – and it looks like two recipes will be going in a local magazine with yours truly in Feb’13). I cooked a Japanese BeefRead More

We decided to take a walk after Amy had had her afternoon nap. Go along the river on our side through the “small” Gardens on the Bay, across the Barrage and to the “big” Gardens on the Bay on the other side of the river. It’s a beautiful walk, starting about 520pm or so, soRead More

So there I was nervous as anything, awaiting the door to open and the dentist to call us in – scary. I hate dentists, I hate hospitals. Today as well was a big day, something special adding to the angst – yes it was Amy’s first official trip to the dentist. So scarily I satRead More

Today (well yesterday) was Amy’s School Halloween party. All in fancy dress (thanks Mum) for the event, and my gawd it was so so so cute. The kids were all adorable they really were.

Sunday was a busy day getting food, then off to play football and then to meet a newRead More

Our turn to host Christmas this year. So Mary and I were up very early to cook cook cook for the 25 expected guests – our Filipino friends.  We held the party in one of the function rooms in the condo, so we decked it with decorations, we took the Christmas tree down, organised parlour games (yesRead More

Again just too big for one blog, so here goes Part I, and Part II – the sequel will be coming to a blog near you very soon. Where to start …. as Julie Andrews states “Let’s start at the very beginning …….” Almost as if planned we arrived at lunch time at the hotel inRead More

The what a lovely Saturday afternoon. Ollie was asked as Captain to be host at the Eton House School Alumni event. But first – here is Amy showing off my new purchase – a massage chair. This thing is awesome. 14 or so different functions. Not showing here but under Amy’s feet a foot massagerRead More
