Today started differently for sure. I woke with the desire to bake! A couple of days back Mum and I had been discussing scones, and she said that she had worked out a new recipe for chilli cheese scones. We have a bit of an addition to the chilli cheese flavour combo. If she thought…

Corona Chronicles – Day 6
I have come to the conclusion that I am a very boring person. 5 days of writing the Corona Chronicles and the most exciting thing that I have written is that I am learning Spanish and that I have discovered amazing new floaty pills.
Corona Chronicles – Day 4
It was a rough start today. I woke at about 1am choking. My throat hurt, I couldn’t stop coughing, and I was super hot. Given the current climate, I naturally went into full panic mode. Then I realised that I hadn’t turned the aircon on, was sleeping under a duvet and a blanket and I…
Corona Chronicles – Day 2
I had a better nights sleep last night, so woke feeling much more positive. Thankfully. I cannot cope with the lows for very long. The very exciting thing of the day though was to wake with words in my head! I haven’t had this for a long time (which is why I haven’t finished writing…
Corona Chronicles – Introduction
I read somewhere recently that we are literally living through a historic event right now. This will be taught at schools in the future. It’s the first event of it’s kind where we have that insight. It will also be used as a teachable example next time this kind of thing happens. And it will….
National Day Celebrations
Although I was away for the actual day of UAE National Day, I was lucky enough to witness some of the celebrations! Emeratis, in my experience, are good people and National Day shines a light on that. I love how much national pride, inclusiveness (is that an actual word?!) and kindness come bursting out of…
My Holibops
Hello everyone! I’ve been a bit quite because a) I wasn’t very well and b) then I went home for a couple of weeks of “rest”. It is never actually a restful holiday as any expat knows. It is literally spent chasing around seeing as many friends as you can, and trying to maximise your…
“He Named Me Malala”, Netflix
In a break from my normal endless stream of trashy TV (which reminds me, I have a lot of Dynasty to catch up on!), I found myself strangely drawn to a documentary about Malala Yousefzai. A couple of years ago I was in an Uber on my way to RAK and the normal ‘where are…
I’m Proud of Me
That is not a statement that you will hear very often, but in this case it is completely true! Recently I was invited karting. Yes, people still do the go-karting thing that I thought had died out back in the early 2000’s! I was really chuffed to be asked along because it’s a group I…
Cove Beach Dubai
Another day, another beach! It really is such a hard life some days! This time it was a beach club we opted for after a recommendation by a coworker. I have mixed feelings about beach clubs but figured that it couldn’t be too bad as it was a week day.
