We tried cooking burgers on hot coals using leaves.
Safe driving
When will drivers get it?
This morning I was on a mini bus taking my daughter to the school swimming competition and the driver insisted that he had to drive a racing car. Normally you just accept but today the story in the paper was a reckless drugged-up taxi driver trying to park on top of a tree!
And here we are being thrown around every corner the world throws at us.
Please, please, please… slow down! It is not a race.
Healthy eating
Marks the end of our cafe de coral breakfasts. After about three years they have decided to axe the set A and B combination. Whilst being no big deal it has now made it more complicated for me to order. Today is also the day our new helper arrives so from today onwards I expect home-made meals.
Wish us luck
Compact Calendar for Hong Kong

This is my attempt at creating the HK version of the CompactCalendar by David Seah. Fee free to tell me where I’ve gone wrong but this seems correct according to my reference.
Hike on the first day of the year
So, no prizes for the longest hike etc but it was one of our first for a long time. And it was raining harder as we climbed the hill so we decided that it was a good idea to turn around and go elsewhere.
I did manage to introduce the idea of using a map and compass which I think they didn’t really see the whole reason why we need one. Next time I hope we do something a little bit more aggressive which will need a map.
I calculate the whole trip to be about 6km which is not too bad.
