Catch up

It's been a while since the blog was updated.
Why?   Well its been an active and hectic year for our little clan.

  1. After 6 months of more of noise, dust and muscle ache our house upgrades are all but completed and we are fully installed within.
    1. New wooden flooring for the bedrooms
    2. A complete enclosure of the frontage to the house to give us a super living area with a stone and marble floor and 270 degrees of glazing or sliding door openings
    3. A rebuild of one of the piggeries into a utility / laundry / storeroom
  2. We have invested in a boat, "The Edna May", to get back and forth to Mui Wo in.
    1. A 21 foot fibreglass hull with a spanking new outboard
  3. We have invested in a small but very pretty sail boat, "Sapphira", to cruise about in.
    1. A Cape Carib 33 sloop built here in Hong Kong in 1975
  4. We have slowly come to accept that broadband internet is a thing of the past and we will have to just get used to the wandering reliability of telephone data.
  5. We have survived the biggest storm on record, even if it did mean we were without electricity for a few days
