things lately:

-  very excited to read Hammster's article in Top Gear this morning and hear that he is back at work, sense of humour intact

-  blogging truely creates community:  i have been in hk for nine days, and have met two people i became friends with on aboutlife! 

-  it really is true that doing exercise in the morning gives you more energy during the day.  i don't get this, but it is true

-  HK is a very vertical.  we live on the 28th floor and there are still 17 floors above us!  actually makes me feel slightly ill thinking about it....

-  wherever you are in the world, if you have access to the bbc, you will feel better

-  (this is awful) i really miss having a maid.  sorry south africans i've teased about this...  upside - we've helped make you world no. 1 just before the world cup - no pressure!

-  i really like clouds.  not really referring to blanket grey, which can be just as monotonous and tedious and blue sky every day.  more the moody, lingering ones...  just nice that watching the weather news matters!
