Sunday evening

Had a very quiet weekend. Dylan passed his cold on to me, think i have sufficiently blasted it away with vitamins and rest. Gran's service was today. As i am writing this everyone is gathered at the house. We had our own "remembrance" here so it has been a quiet day..just one of the many reasons i love my husband..he has been amazing this week, he helped set up a "balcony 'remembrance' garden" and organised a little memorial for gran..knowing how much she meant to me and how difficult it was being far away from the family! It meant so much and made it easier. Thanks Ciro!!
Will post some pics in the week.

Happy New Year

Happy Chinese New Year to all. It is now the year of the pig and from what i have read that is lucky for those born in it but the actual year could be tumultuous! We shall just have to wait and see. It has been so hot the last two days 27 and 28 degrees. This morning in particular the lethargy set in and i think it was heat related. It is February!!!!!!
News from home: Ian started his new job on Friday and it seems as though it will be a much better thing for them as a family.
Dylan seems to be really enjoying this holiday time, he is being so animated, at the moment his favourite movie is chicken little and he loves playing with his jumping dog..although still wary of it..he switches it on and runs to the doorway to watch it from there. We have unleashed war on the mosquitoes and so last night was much better although the bites from the other night are still pretty visible on his face.

I was anticipating lots of fireworks last night as the new year came in but there seemed to be more firecrackers and less elaborate fireworks. Took a panorama view of the city from our balcony though.

Dylan loves getting into things, even though he can't always get out. He enjoys sitting with a book quietly sometimes.

In the school garden and the closed piece of road in Dong-hai. He loves running along the yellow line

Very busy making calls on Daddy's phone.
