Biting cold last night walking home from the restaurant. When I got in I could see that it had been -16 but it felt colder. Not been out at all today (Friday) and no plans to do so! Giving lessons this evening starting at 18:00 and glad to have an excuse to stay in, At some point soon I will seriously have to start packing instead of prevaricating because early Monday morning I fly to Beijing and from there to London.

A day of preparing for my trip to England in a couple of weeks time. Talk of a postal strike and I need to move my documents between Birmingham and London (Foreign Commonwealth Office and Vietnamese Embassy) in a very complicated process with no desk service. Uuummmmm!!!!!!

So haven't been out today, except for breakfast across the road. YingYing phoned out for something to eat later this afternoon and we had loads of plastic containers delivered. Now the other day I saw someone rifling through the bins and picking out some of these plastic containers so (although the one or two I washed out the other day had not been taken from outside the door of our apartment) I reckon there is a market for recycling them somewhere so today I have started to wash them out and collect them. Watch this space...….
