Holiday

So, we nipped over to Thailand for 10 days during the kid's half term holiday. Nipped I say, because it takes 90 minutes on a plane to get to Phuket from here!

Waiting for the rain

Apologies for not updating the blog, since moving into our condo it's been pretty full on. We now live on the East Coast, on the edge of the Geylang River.

You have to provide proof of having had the … Continue reading Getting Stuff Done →

So, whilst he and the kids chilled I walked to the Post Office … Continue reading Happy Birthday Ben! →

Speaking of breakfast, cruel mummy forced her children to wake up early again, a; to hopefully get them to sleep at night and b; because … Continue reading Tuesday →

Monday

A strange weekend, arriving here late on Friday night, getting up early on Saturday to go house hunting with the agent, spending most of Sunday sleeping and most of the night to Monday NOT sleeping. We viewed 8 different condos and one of them is perfect for us. It ticks all the boxes; location, balconies, … Continue reading Monday →
