Take care, have a great summer/winter depending on your hemisphere!
First purchase, a pair of wellies I think!

Comment left by a reader most likely to make me snort juice out of my nose
"i argued that hk has more to offer in terms of museums, architecture, public parks, shops- though he said london has more to offer. maybe its because im disillusioned with london and bored with this city-it is one of the most depressing cities."
Seen in the comments at Ten Things I Hate About Hong Kong
Seriously! You can stand on almost any street in South Kensington and see more museums than in the whole of Hong Kong.
"somewhere there was a mention of Cherie Blair" by Madame Chiang made me smile, although she and I seem to be bidding for the 'most stressed out by incompetence of others around us' award at the moment, she is always amusing, where as I just sound as though I'm whinging.

After working on a project on and off for about 3 months I set off to complete it today, and was foiled by the concept that Hong Kong doesn't have postcodes. I fear that chocolate is the only answer on how to deal with the frustration I am feeling right now.

This time next week I'll be on tour. Posting may be light while I am away, yes even lighter than the last few weeks, but then again now I've got my macbook to play with the chances are higher that I'll be putting my day to day rambles down in some form or other.
You could always check in at Memento Mori if you miss me*, but I do plan to come back.
*ok so I know that's a stretch!

I've just taken off an outfit that I used to love, but perhaps its better suited to someone a little younger than I am. This is a first for me. Or maybe its just not suitable for the occasion tonight.
.
Going through a bit of a blank at the moment, have so much to do my wheels are spinning. Am shuffling plans around from A to B trying to come up with an answer.
My blogger/google page has turned chinese ..... any one know how to change it back?
Update 30 secs later ........ ok so NOW its ok again, must have been those noodles I ate at lunch.
.
Seems I'm making a bit of a habit of this........
Fantastic nigth though.
~hic~
.
I just broke my gmail.
Probably the worse time to do so as well. Am expecting a couple of emails that I have to reply to asap.
~sigh~
.
It's raining here, hard.
But that's ok because I've got oodles of things I should be doing around the flat. However as its such a horrible day I'm going to curl up on the sofa with a few books and pretend that everything isn't crowding in on me. I'm getting a little overwhelmed by my 'to do' list.
.
In my haste to get organised and pack up my apartment ahead of my move, I've misjudged the contents of my wardrobe. This morning it was a litttttttle tricky finding a suitable outfit for work, everything seems to be either packed, in need of ironing* or in the laundry basket.
Hmmmm things can only get worse.
*A little tricky as I have sold my iron, I never used it much anyway.

I was talking to someone today, he wanted to buy a table I am selling and asked if it could be easily transported.
Mia: Well the legs of the table don't fold, but you can unscrew them.
A: Oh, right, then how would I put them back again.
Mia: With a screwdriver.
A: I can't do that.
Mia: You don't have a screwdriver? You can buy one very cheaply from the shop along the road.
A: No, I mean I don't know how to use one.
Mia: Oh.
I could never ever take ANYONE seriously who had reached his mid 30's and never used a screwdriver.

Ohhhhhhh finally a reality TV show that I could imagine watching!
