I don’t know about you all, but I think that the single best thing about the rise of social media is the access it has given us to the world. I can spend hours looking at all the exciting places on offer, and making mental lists of all the places I want to visit. In…

Marasi Brunch, Hotel Indigo
I had a message out of the blue the other week from one of the girls in a group I used to be really close with. As has happened for a lot of people, we all had our own worries and concerns over covid and had drifted apart. Messages were sent for birthdays and celebrations,…
And so it begins, again.
I worked out the other day that in less than 12 weeks, I will be sat on my Mum’s sofa with the dog, a tub of Heroes/Quality Street or another type of Christmas treat, watching a Hallmark movie with my Mum, who is incapable of sitting for a whole film, pottering around half paying attention. …
Eating Across the Colonies
One of the things that I really actually quite like about living in a COVID-19 world is that places are a bit quieter. I love to go out and catch up with girls, but there was little to no point sometimes because places are too loud either with music or chatter. Covid and the new…
Expo 2020, in 2021
Back when I was still fairly new to Dubai, it was announced that the UAE had won it’s bid to host Expo 2020. I really didn’t understand all the fuss. All I knew was that the rent prices suddenly went up which was dumb given it wasn’t for another 8 or 9 years. I remember…
Design & Dine
Ever on the look out for something new to try, when Mandy suggested a girls painting night, I didn’t ask any questions. I just said yes! Design & Dine were hosting an evening at Pure Sky Lounge at the Hilton Jumeirah Beach. For AED300 you could paint yourself a “legend”, have unlimited drinks and some…
Movies under the stars
As I have said a hundred times before, one of my favourite things about being an expat is meeting people from all different backgrounds. Dubai is a great place for that. It’s a literal melting pot of every single nationality there is I think. This week was the Omani’s turn to shine! And shine he…
DIY Dining!
This was an absolutely random find, but possibly one of my favorites ever! A restaurant that lets you play with your food! I know this isn’t a new concept but it is indeed a great one that I need more fun with. As you all know, I like exploring and I will basically try any…
Edi’s Bratwurst Sausage Restaurant and B&B, KZN
The second of Albert’s friend’s recommendations was a German sausage place that when we googled it appeared it had shut down. We were disappointed but we had some really good foods in the Midlands Meander area, so weren’t too perturbed. As we were driving towards the final accommodation of our adventure, we saw a sign…
Corona Chronicles – Week 3 Round-up
I can’t believe another week has gone by so quickly. I didn’t think it would really. I imagined it would drag by and be hugely painful. I’m lucky I guess that isn’t the case. I think my medication helps that but also because this week I decided to be more productive.
