My garden has two major drawbacks. Firstly, a good part of it is taken up by a steep grassy slope, perfect for sledging if only it snowed here (when global warming truly takes its grip though, we’ll be ready!) and secondly, it has a stretch of very ugly parking slabs right next to the front door.
I have tried – lamely – to convince people they’re really grass by painting them green, Hong Kong ‘park’ style, but let’s face it, I’m not fooling anyone (see pic above). Read More
Now that my month long pilates challenge is finally underway – I’ve gone five times this week, with another three weeks of hour long daily classes still to go – I find that I really need a sustaining breakfast, but equally don’t want to scoff down anything too heavy.

Our family has grown overnight. The new, furry, arrival comes in the form of a delightful bouncing border terrier puppy called Poppy who flew over from the UK yesterday.

There’s a really fun blog called Shentonista that chronicles the clothes and faces of genuinely stylish people either working or passing through Shenton Way or any of Singapore’s business districts.
