Another Typhoon
Typhoon Kompasu came in right after Typhoon Lionrock. We had one day of nice weather in between where we were able to enjoy the outdoors. The monster and I were […]
Black Rain or a Typhoon?
The last couple of days were… Nuts. 8th OCTOBER 2021 We had been watching a typhoon coming in for a couple of days. Actually, there were two typhoons in the […]
Junk with the Bub
Bub and I were invited on a junk trip. We’ve been a few of these before. The first one ever with the kids was a few years ago. Both Bub and Monster ended up sick. Since then, Bub has successfully attended another junk, but he’s not big on the swimming […]
Mid-Autumn Festival 2021
This is the first time that we actually went out for the Mid-Autumn Festival (Lunar Festival) in a long time. I think we went the first couple of years we were here. Then everything happened, and I sort of stopped. I couldn’t pretend we were a happy family and do […]
First Hike of the School Year

Time for a Change
I’m not sure why, but for a long time I felt my long hair was a defining feature of my identity. Maybe it was. It had gotten so long and after I had bleached some of it a couple of times, there were places in my hair that there just […]
Vegan BBQ
My friend, C whom I work with was house/cat sitting in Sai Kung and invited me to a vegan BBQ on the rooftop of the village house. I’m not vegan, but I’m not opposed to it. We were all meant to bring something, so I baked vegan scones. I honestly […]
