One of the best

It was Emma's birthday yesterday and today a group of girls went out for Brunch at Shangri-la Pudong. It was at the Yi Cafe... It was a really good feed... Here are some of the things I got up to food wise...

the week...

This has been one of those weeks for me... I developed one of the killer migrains that did not go away and as usual the right eye went all dull...

hence I took myself to the doctor to get it checked out and got three needles stuck into me... one to draw blood to check for ESR and two in the butt for pain killer and anti nausea... They worked all right and I went dizzy instead and had to lie down... I had to be supported to walk as it was impossible to walk in a sstraight line...

Have to say a big thanks to Chris who came to pick me up and supported me home... Would not have managed without him...  Hence waddling with finnese was born...

Marks and Spencer

This has been an interesting weekend... I finally went to Marks and Spencer which was such a fun experience... I finally get things that I can read and understand though it is a really small collection... But the area around M&S is really cool and there are so many shops to explore... think I will be back there again soon... in the near future.... 

The other exciting thing was that after a long quest for Puff pastry, I have finally found it and now I should be able to bake a pie once I get a dish to bake it in... THat is going to be the challenge I am going to imagine...

Oh well another week of school and the ever exciting Parent Interviews on Friday...

Podcasting in Plain English

Am doing this as an after school activity... But believe it or not, it is like into the great unknown for a lot of people... Wonder if there is a blackhole or something? It just seems that it is so foreign to them...Hmm...Hmmm... Hmmmmm

The long silence

Well.... It has been a long time since I last blogged.... Lets see.... I have been working for 7 weeks now... Time seems to fly so quickly when one is working but it is really hard work too... It is really demanding and havig the whole range of abilities and needs of the children to cater to have been my challenge.... Although I moan about it, I am sstill enjoying myself....

I have just had the Golden Week holidays and that was a really good break... I went to Singapore for a week of rest and resstock... Had the most interesting things in my suitcase on the way back- milk powswe, chocolates, sweets, new PJ's and a rubbish bin! It was good to get away from Shanghai but it is good to come back too... The weather has cooled down a lot in the time I have been away...

I enjoyed seeing a lot of Jersey and his antics.... Who incidentally went to the doctor today and is on new medication as his eye is not in a good shape at all... Poor dog.... But he is lovable as ever and cute as ever....

Well back to the real world and another 10 weeks before Christmas holidays....
