Global warming – I Don’t Think So!

Last time I looked the temperature was down to 10 degrees.   This is the sub tropics not Manchester.   I firmly blame China for this as last week they claimed they had deliberately caused snow to fall on Beijing by firing some sort of chemicals into the clouds.  Snow in Beijing

“Weather forecast for tonight and tomorrow” Cloudy and cold overnight. The minimum temperature will be about 12 degrees in the urban areas, and 2 to 3 degrees lower over the New Territories.

Just what I wanted to hear.   Ah well, it is only supposed to last a few more days and then we are back to the warmth.

Mini Rugby - Lantau Island Style

This weekend was the first training session ever of the Lantau Buffalos Mini Rugby Club. An official HKRFU club and one of the few in Hong Kong that can actually boast having its own playing field! Well to be fair, the field is a football pitch that had fallen into disuse and thanks to the tremendous efforts of some the grass was cut back to make it useable once more. (you can see the height it had grown too to the sides of the pitch!) Quite surprisingly some 35 children were signed up, boys and girls and a real mix of languages too. Any referee who tries to sort out this lot out will need to be pretty well educated. Despite several pitch invasions and a sit in by some sponsors, see pictures that follow, it was a great start.
