Oooops
This is supposed to be a travel blog, and I haven’t traveled anywhere for some time.
Last year we returned to Indonesia. I made two trips to China. I stayed in Hong Kong,Wenzhou,Xian and Zhuhai. What have I done for you lately?
Nothing.
My excuse? I’m working. I work five days a week, usually not six. I have a family here and we just don’t get away that often.
That’s not to say that we don’t occasionally enjoy life. We get out to the pub. We go to the mall. We watch movies in the cinema, or on DVD. Add to that I’m as physically active as any other 45 year-old couch potato.
Hope your life is as much fun as mine.
All the best,Wayne

Crossroads. We've all been at them, and sometimes we've felt strung across them.
Crossroads. We've all been at them, and sometimes we've felt strung across them. Sometimes they're options,sometimes they're ultimatums.
I've recently been puzzling over a choice. Should I stay or ...

I'm afraid it looks grim for our hero ... the blender's on puree
I have a lead on a job here,but it's a fairly tenuous one. What the hey ... most of my life is tenuous
By chance I ran into ...

The day was bright
We had a good day
I was off

With Robert's technical help and Grace's linguistic finesse we managed to buy a Panasonic digital ...

I still think of the old days occasionally. There were, thankfully, more good times than bad times. I realize that's almost an
Edie Brickell song.
The Old Days There have been a few changes ...

Another Kartini Day has come and gone.
Teachers,staff and many of the children wore traditional clothes to commemorate Kartini day.
For most of them, and the teachers,
it’s a time to dress up in traditional clothes.
