Yesterday there was a global panic. Not because a new virus had emerged. But because Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp went down. The memes have been awesome as you can imagine, but it does raise some questions about the general level of addiction to social media the world has.

Corona Chronicles – Day 7
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 1
Last night, an alert was sent out. Dubai is to be in 24hr lock down for a minimum of 2 weeks. I would like to state here that I fully respect the decision made by the government of my Emirate and that of the country which I live. I believe they are doing what is…
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….
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

It’s another cyber hug really but again, I am really touched to have been thought of given how many bloggers there are out…

London Will NEVER Fall
I have so many words today that this could be a jumbled mess that I never remember the actual starting point for. On the plus side it won’t be as bad as it could be as it’s first thing in the morning and so there is no wine involved. I was sat on my couch last…
Armchair Detectives
I break with my catch up for an up to date event, because I have words in my head that I need to use up! Last night The Boy and I ended up watching the new Amanda Knox documentary on Netflix. We have always both been interested true crime type things, and so the odd…
