Yet another hot, dry day today called for a trip to the lake for puppy to practise her swimming. Sage had a lovely time fetching her ball in the water and playing with more new-found pals.

Post-Christmas puppy presents!
Today it was puppy reaping the rewards of my online shopping! Just before Christmas, I decided that our gift to her would be a new bed for her time indoors. Of course, when I happened across a gorgeous new doggy boutique (pet shop girls), I could not resist making a couple of other little purchases … Continue reading
A new shoe addition…
It was with much excitement when I opened my last package from the post office before Christmas. Merry Christmas to me! Poor husband just shook his head… I’m not sure that he believes me when I tell him such purchases are investments! Anyway, I was so pleased that they fit perfectly. The good Aussie dollar, … Continue reading

This year I have successfully managed to do the majority of my Christmas gift buying online. This has proven to be an exercise in strength for me, as it has been very difficult to resist putting items in the online bag for me as well. That said, I may be a little guilty in that … Continue reading

Some kind friends gave us vouchers at a local store for our wedding and yesterday we finally had the chance to go and spend them – the missing blender being at the top of our list. Here is our … Continue reading
Late night shopping
After our day by the pool and evening at the beach, I even found time to do a spot of shopping! When we returned to the resort from dinner, I was tempted to have a look in the gift shop on site. Much better than anticipated! Here is my little purchase – a summer scarf … Continue reading
Time for some retail therapy
Following our Sunday Market excursion, Paul and I made our way to the most modern shopping mall that I have come across so far in KK – Suria Sabah. Naturally, I was drawn into the Coach store first (but I was very, very good!) and then we made our way to Starbucks for a long … Continue reading
To market, to market, to buy a fat pig
Well, we didn’t really set off to buy a fat pig, however I am sure that we could have had we so desired! Yesterday Paul and I got up early to visit to Sunday Market – a market that seems to get lots of reviews and was also close by to where we were staying. … Continue reading
