My nose was full of it this morning when I woke up and now I look like Rudolph…….yesterday they cut the grass in the complex and some of the debris has obviously made its way to the 4th floor and tampered with my nose because it ain’t happy this morn. However on the upside the weather is very pleasant and it’s even time to look once more for the winter woolies. Look through the drawers and suitcases to find my collection of beanie’s, time to grow the beard longer and wear my thermals, although it’s not quite thermal weather yet, it’s very pleasant in the sun you know, but when it goes for a sleep it feels a little brisk.

Today is also my last lesson for a week, the Chinese national holiday begins on Monday and so many places will be closed and so I am looking forward to that as long as my usual haunts are still accessible. I would hate for my local cafe to be closed, or my favourite restaurant but I’ll wait and see.

I went to the park this morning but I had no energy and so I just strolled around listening to Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” and did a few bits and pieces, but it’s always good to go for a stroll after breakfast and ease into the day and as I said the weather is very good and so it’s most enjoyable. And listening to Pink Floyd is always a good thing.

My biggest decision of the day is to figure out where I’m going to go for lunch, which I may add is not so easy. There is a lot of choice and I’m thinking will so I go for my favourite food or try something different, it’s quite the dilemma.
