air pollution

Yesterday I was told that if HK was a factory it would get shut down!!
Why? Because the air pollution is so very high at the moment that 20% of HK's population should not be outside, and if that was the facts in a factory it would be shut down.
What am I doing tonight? Taking the dogs for a walk whilst breathing in some beautiful HK air... Nice... NOT!

afternoon tea


When the heaven all of a sudden decides to open on a Saturday afternoon and the rain is pouring down it is pretty nice to sit around a table with 13 girls talking about this and that whilst filling the stomachs with lovely and yummy sandwiches, scones and cakes.
To be absolutely honest - it is probably one of the most brilliant ideas ever...

team lunch


A Japanese lunch on a Friday with the team is a rare occurrence (we usually do lunch by our desks...)but not a bad way of starting the weekend with...

tug of war


Tug of war is a sport that directly pits two teams, or in this case two dogs, against each other in a test of strength....

three dogs and a tourist


We've had an other weekend with beautiful weather.
A wonderful sun made sure that we didn't get cold when we went for a swim in the rock pools.
Our visitor, Gemma, got to see HK from it's best side - both the stunning country side and the beautiful waterfront of HK island, and so did the three dogs.
They have had so much fun playing in the water, running along the beach and jumping in the grass. The grown ups have had a very enjoyable weekend as well.
I'm prepared for yet another busy week at work.

A lazy day in the sun tomorrow, and also a hike is on the schedule.
Encore. I like it.

Have a good weekend all!

mini holiday

A weekend out in Sai Kung feels like a mini holiday.
We've chilled, talked, walked and eaten good food (both home cooked and at restaurant) together with friends.
A smaller hike up to some rock pools was included as well.
Good times for both the grown ups and the dogs.

champagne lunch


Two glasses of champagne at lunch is definitely the way to go!
Bye bye you long week of work. Hello weekend!
Just need to finish a few more things in the office first...
And sip some more tea to sober up...

sai kung weekend


We were meant to spend our weekend in the money driven Macau, but instead we have decided on going to Sai Kung, where we will be house sitting and dog sitting Teddy's girlfriend Ruby whilst chilling out completely.
Sai Kung is just lovely, a dream really out there just by the sea. Quiet and green, with local fishermen offering their merchandise right from the sea returning boats. The whole pier becomes a fresh market. Really can't wait to get out there early Saturday morning! And I know that Teddy will absolutely love this weekend of endless playing.



Macau has simply been postponed to October...

morning routines


- At 6.30 (regardless of if it is weekday or weekend) - I'm hungry.
- Wake mummy and daddy up by whining to tell them that I'm hungry.
- Get breakfast, because mummy can't stand my crying... (got her totally figured out!)
- Hurry back to bed to thank mummy for the food with loads of wet kisses.
- Plonk myself down in bed, preferable on top of mummy.
- Eagerly await for daddy to get up.
- Spread out in bed, starfish next to mummy.
- Refuse to go for morning walk when daddy comes into the bedroom to get me.
- Make sure that mummy has to get involved to get me out of the room.
- Go for walk.
- Come home.
- Jump up on mummy again to tell her that I'm back.
- Go to sleep.

evening walk


Teddy and a beautiful view over Aberdeen reservoir during tonight's walk.
This was taken before it got a bit too dark and creepy (literally - lots of bugs and other creepy things come out in the dark...) to walk on a small path in the woods.
But other than that we had a great walk the Teddy bear and I.
A perfect way of recharging the batteries before heading back to work...
