Yoga with the ladies

I'm on a roll. For a second time I joined 'the ladies'. This time for yoga in Finnish (Finnish instructor, Finnish participants..). And it was great! Both the yoga class and the company. I'm getting the hang of this housewife thing..
Next task: ironing. (yep, not nearly as fun as yoga.. :D!)

Coffee with the ladies

This morning I took the bull by the horns and forced myself to challenge my own preconception of 'the ladies', i.e. wifes and girlfriends who have followed their men's jobs abroad, and while men are at work long hours and maids take care of the house (and kids), the ladies get-together for coffee, lunches, shopping and gin&tonics.. and I went and attended a 'coffee-get-together' of the Finns in Singapore association. There were about 10 ladies present, from all age groups and some with small children. And suprise suprise.. they were all nice. Not stuck-up, not too fancy for anyone else, not I-know-it-all, not all made up and with shopping bags.. no, they were all nice, quite down to earth Finnish ladies. At least judging from the 2 hours I spent drinking coffee and talking. So, I joined the association and plan to attend the sports activities next..
