Does anyone ever want to cook anything after spending the day at the beach? Unless it’s a BBQ of course. That can happen. But regular cooking always seems so hard. Knowing this, we planned accordingly and booked to go out for dinner. Quite fittingly for our ‘holiday’ inspired day, we found ourselves at Elia…

Big Bus Tour – Part 2, Or, Khan Murjan Souq
The Big Bus tour took us to Wafi, as I wrote in Part 1, but it’s a mall I have been to 101 times before. It’s where the hat type shop ‘Oasis’ is located so not only have I shopped there, I have modeled there too! Yep, it was as strange to do it as…
Friendship, reflection and self realisation
In the last few years I have taken a number of hits in regards to friendships. People who I thought were very good friends have disappeared. It has hurt, but I have made peace with it. However, it all came up again this morning when I discovered that someone had blocked me from their social…
New Year’s Eve, 2017
When in Dubai for New Year celebrations, there is only one thing you should do… you should see the fireworks at the Burj Khalifa. Sadly this year they announced that the fireworks were cancelled and were being replaced with a light and lazer show. I cannot tell you how disappointed I was. The only other…
Post Xmas Lunch Waddle
Because let’s be honest… that is exactly what it was! I had eaten so much that you probably could have rolled me around! Mum was more sensible than me but declined on the pushing so I took off my very high heeled (for me) shoes and off we went! Al Qasr is conveniently located next…
‘Slight’ delays… again!
It turns out that I’ve been having such a ball with Mummy that I haven’t had time to write any posts! I knew this would happen because we always really enjoy our time together, but I really tried (for the first couple of days!) to keep on top of things. Oh well! I have now…
The Rubbing House, Epsom Downs
We had been running errands around the old neighborhood all morning when suddenly, hunger struck. It was a traumatic experience. I was surrounded by places that I had grown up around but nothing looked quite how I remembered, or of it did, that was enough to put me off! After a unreasonably long time, I…
Pure Anger
There was a Facebook post the other day that asked what the first item of news is that you remember. My family never had the news on very much. Mum doesn’t like that kind of negativity in the house. But I do remember the case of James Bulger. I doubt anyone in the UK could…
Sticks and stones
We are all told that little rhyme when we are growing up. It’s meant to keep us safe from mean words. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. It’s great in theory but it’s a lie. Words can hurt horrendously. It’s an obvious thing really. Don’t use the n-word…
Hairdressing Adventures in Dubai
Or, as I like to refer to it… the ongoing search for someone who doesn’t f*ck my hair up. I had the wonderful Stylianos take care of me for so long. He did wonders with my strange decisions of the time. He managed to get me back to a decent blonde after it was dark brown and…
