When Fai met Dave (2)
In the first installment: Fai became acquainted with a young Essex lad, took offence at the word ‘cougar’ and coined the phrase ‘over-bloated rhino’. If you missed it then you really need to subscribe to the blog but you can click here to catchup. Needless to say, Fai was surprised to receive a message from […]
When Fai met Dave
Six months ago, Fai decided to take a break from the dating, online, marriage world and focus on the house search which she had been happily putting off for around six years. If you haven’t gathered it already, Fai is a typically indecisive Libra. As fate would have it, Dave* entered her life; an uncomfortably […]
How Do You Like Your Eggs?
If you’re anything like me then I’m guessing you prefer your eggs in a cake, filled with jam and slathered in buttercream. The question over eggs – specifically my eggs – started presenting itself when I hit the grand age of 30. Whilst I had never given it a lot of thought, it occurred to […]
Goodbye 2018
It seems only fitting as we approach the end of the year that I take a look back at 2018. I’ve mixed emotions about the year mainly due to the way it is now ending. Here’s some of my highs and lows of 2018 – feel free to share your own. Highs: The Blog – […]

‘’I don’t believe love has borders’’ ‘’I came here to take down walls, not put them up’’ All very noble………….right?

Refugees to whom they are actively providing a service, as professionals and volunteers. ‘’Do you know Maria?’’ * ‘’ […]
Crazy Rich Asians (Desi Twist)
I’m supposed to be on hiatus but couldn’t resist the temptation to fire out a little post. In need of a bit of R+R recently; post wedding fever (oh aye), a house move and a bout of shingles, my best friend Sai organised a cinema date and off we trotted to watch “Crazy Rich Asians”. […]
“The Walk of Shame”
I remember vividly the day that I took the decision to sell my home, a year post divorce. It wasn’t particularly difficult to know that it was the right thing to do. The house we lived in had been a begrudging compromise so, for me, there wasn’t much sentiment attached. But more than that, I […]
