There is a saying in England that people trot out from time to time when men announce any one of the following: that they are running off with their mistress, buying a boat or buying a helicopter or plane (as you do): ‘If it f**ks, floats or flies…hire it.’
On the whole, probably pretty good advice. If, however, you are not of this persuasion then the Singapore Yacht Show is for you.
I’ve been going to see the lymphatic drainage guru that is Sally Hew for an hour a week for about six months now. I first wrote about her here; she’s amazingly skilled at detoxing your system, clearing your skin and really making a difference to how you feel (and, as an added bonus, how you look).

Nice. Thank goodness it wasn’t for sale and my plate of noodles arrived with only a raised eyebrow.
Over the years I have been given and collected a lot of charms, some strung on various bracelets, some lying loose and lonely in dusty pouches in a drawer in my dressing table.
