this weekend...

has been a busy one.  On Saturday, we went to Harry's @ 360, as Betsy is now old enough to waterski, and she did it!  It must be said, she looked very little before she set off, and I was definitely feeling apprehensive - I'm not sure if it was the thought of her falling off and having to swim back to shore or the sheer force/speed involved, but I was very relieved once she'd done it!

On Sunday, we cycled along the East Coast to play crazy golf.  In true Singaporean style, the holes were based on well known places in Singapore, and there were lots of mechanical elements, from ski lifts to trains...

But for Betsy, the highlight of the day was the slippers you borrow when you go to the loo!

Have a good week everyone x

jolly japes...

Mr W has the day off today, so we're going on a jolly jape, which I'm hoping will involve lunch here.  Every time we go, it rains, so the stone will be wet, but it's always enjoyable.

Wishing you a lovely weekend x

Day 12 of my challenge, and I'm struggling to take a photograph every day, as I'm still playing catch up now the girls have gone back to school.  I took this one on day 8 - lets hope I find some more inspiration for tomorrow!

something very english...

This book is one of my favourite Christmas presents, a gift from one of my girlfriends back home.  As the inscription says, 'a little bit of something terribly English for my first Christmas away'.  I listened to Deborah Devonshire being interviewed on Woman's Hour back in September and I can't wait to read it.  Just what I need to wile away rainy days in Singapore...

Happy Monday! xx

my dream house...

This is the house I was photographing earlier this week (photo 5 of my hopefully 365 project).  I bought it at a car boot sale for 10 pounds, including all fixtures and fittings!  At some point in my life, I would like to live in a beautiful Georgian house just like it!

Have a great weekend x

list number one...

Today I have:

1. realised that the box I threw away on Monday night would have been perfect for storing our ever expanding Christmas decorations.

2. discovered that my super comfortable flip flops, when used constantly for a year (and I really mean constantly - the only exception being nights out!), will break irrepairably.

3. run out of time to do anything creative with the girls, and have made a mental note to make up for it tomorrow, after we've been to the Science Centre, if only for the sake of our thank you notes!

4. just managed to take a picture of a beautiful house for my photographic project - I'll show and tell on Friday.

projects...

Just a quick, and late post today, as the girls are still on holiday and I'm trying to tidy up after Christmas (still not brave enough to tackle Betsy's bedroom though... hopefully by then end of this week??)  Tomorrow we're off to meet Mr W for lunch, but I just wanted to make a formal declaration that I am going to try to take a photograph every day for the rest of this month.  I'm hoping that I will continue in this vein for the rest of the year....

See you on Wednesday x
