The Jule-kalender!

It is the first of December 2009 and normally people starts a kind of Christmas calendar to count down to the happy time coming later this month. Back home in Denmark it was also the time where every television channel with respect for them self, launched a 24 episode Christmas series. At the beginning it was mostly for kids, but later they also started one separate one for adults. So in December it was common that you had to follow 3 or more different series counting down to the 24th.
I'll try to do one post a day until I go on Christmas holiday, like a kind of Christmas calendar. This will be nothing special, only what comes into my mind on one specific day, but a part of it will be a Hong Kong Christmas photo of the day, and a part of Mum's Hong Kong Diary, coz as you know Mum and Ricky from Scotland was visiting us in November.
Like I mentioned in the last post, we had some quite cold weather for nearly one week, with the temperature dropping over 10 degrees in a few days. In only a few other days it went back up, so the last week and a half we've been back to amazingly 24 degrees and a gorgeous light. I've been told that this has been the coldest November since the start of weather recordings.
Sorry for you back in Europe and other cold places, but this was too cold and I'm just happy that we again can go outside in t-shirt and shorts to look at all the silly Christmas decor, which the shops put up to get us to believe that Christmas is just around the corner.


Mum's Diary #1.

We arrived at Hong Kong airport on Saturday 31 October. Catriona met us and we travelled to Sai Kung in a taxi. We later had a meal on the sea front, chop sticks are not the easy way for me to eat.
I need to get used them again. They will provide a knife and fork if you ask. The dishes are very healthy sea food. Locals are all very slim here

Sun 1st Nov.09
Jørgen and Catriona took us to us on a trip to an Island We did visit last year but, this time Jørgen and Ricky went for a swim on the beautiful bay with the shark net.
Then we all had a meal in the South African restaurant on the sea front.
