past the peak

back with a vengeance

Don’t really know what happened over the last couple of months. Too much work, late nights  (aided by faulty air conditioning and late night footie on the box) and a general lack of enthusiasm for life. But today a new energy back on stream, so time to get back into the saddle and start unpicking the threads of Hong Kong’s finest hand made suit of clothes.

tunnel dug, bag packed - we're outta here

It's Easter, and chance to take some holiday. So off to the sweatpots (or is it rainpots, this week) of South-East Asia. Also a chance to look at Hong Kong through Malaysian coloured glasses. See you next week.

This is sexist humour, I know. But that doesn't mean it's not funny. Does it?

one of those days

Since I had no real plan to start this blog when I woke up this morning, it's been quite a day. Still wrestling with the details of trying to get my Amazon Wish List onto the page (the help file tells me how to do, but inconveniently the options in the boxes don't match the instructions), but never mind, eh?

The photo album upload also went pretty well too. Now need to sort out the gigabytes of digi-pix on my hard drive and sort them into a shape to put up here. A bit like sorting out that tea chest of crumpled prints upstairs, only easier to do (and you don't need fiddly album covers and sticky corners). Looks like there's more to do tomorrow - so much for a Saturday off, then.

so having heard so much about blogging (including from just-teen daughter), thought I'd have a go myself.  first sensations: why am I doing this?  do I feel self-conscious, or what?  what the hell?

this is really nothing more than a test post to get used to the process. who knows, maybe one day this will be just another thing to do and I'll actually get to enjoy it (and hopefully be good at it).  now whether anyone would want to read any of this, well that's another question.

by the way, anyone else out there thrilled by the hatters' transformation into a real football team this season, after so many years of inflicting pain and frustration on stuuborn fans like me?  I can't be the only one, surely ....
