Back...

No, I have not given up the blog.It's just that life at the moment is pretty hectic.I am hanging on at work waiting for word of a new premises, as the lease at the present location will be up in April.

It seems like I have just posted tons of photos but as they say a picture says a thousand words so I will leave it at that, short and sweet.

Happy Chinese New Year - (belated)

January Blues...

Had three nights off work this week due to day off and a couple of statutory holidays owed to me.Plan was to sort through all the paper work I seem to have accumulated over the years and arrange or throw as need be.It has not happened.I have managed a couple of great sleeps and some good home cooking and spent time with the kids which kind of makes up for it, or is that just me kidding myself.
Had a couple of old friends pass through Hong Kong this month at different times, so had a couple of drinks with them and we caught up on each others news which was good.Apart from that it's been a quiet month at home and work.

The Peak

Happy New Year to you all!

Here are a few pictures of a trip we made up the Peak last Monday.It's been a long time since we were last up and since then they have refurbished the Peak tower which now houses a wide selection of restaurants and a Madame Tussuad's to name but a few.

Now in to mid January and all is quiet at work as it is every January.New Years Eve was a great night with a near full house and plenty of merry making.

Now I am seriously considering the year ahead, will 2007 be the year of change.Will I stay in the bar business or will I consider a new profession.Will we stay in over crowded Hong Kong or move to the UK or beyond.These are questions I need to think about this year, and it is already mid January.

Will keep you posted.

Seasons Greetings

Seasons Greetings, it's been over a month since my last post so where do I start.
We moved into our new flat at the beginning of December, what a difference 3 bedrooms make. It is much quieter than the old one as we are now 2 streets back from the main drag of Bars and Nightclubs.
Work wise it has been a strange month with some very quiet nights and some very busy ones.On New Years Eve we have a big party with 10 DJ's so that should be an interesting night and morning as it will finish around 7 am.
At the moment Hong Kong is having major problems with telecommunications due to an earthquake off Taiwan at the beginning of the week which has cut underwater cables.Most e-mail accounts cannot be accessed at the moment like Yahoo and MSN, so if anyone has e-mailed me it could take up to 3 weeks for me to reply.The reason I can post this is because it runs from a different server.

The weather is cool but nice still manage to get out and about in my shorts and t-shirt.

Our Flat..

Been playing around with Google Earth this morning and came across the building I live in or rather going to live in.

What else has been happening. At the moment we have 7,000+ American sailors in town on R & R. They should be all gone by the morning.

We are in the process of moving to our new flat. Jamie told me he will write to Santa after we move so that Santa doesnt go to the wrong address.This is the first year he is really getting in to Christmas and has already circled the 25th on the calender.

Weather is great just now, nice and cool but still shorts and T-shirt friendly.

Moody Hong Kong

Some views of Hong Kong I found on the internet,taken at different times of day,night and weather

Halloween Pics

Been a while since my last post, time seems to be passing by so quickly at the moment. Jamie, Hannah and myself all had a nasty stomach virus a couple of weeks ago but that has thankfully gone.We have been flat hunting over the last few weeks as we need to move from our present one at the begining of December.Finally the other day we found a reasonable place not too far away so will be moving within the next 3 weeks.Above are some photos of a Halloween party Janicel took the kids along to at the end of October.Have got loads of photos to post but just finding the time at the moment seems impossible.Weather wise it is finally starting to cool down,been a very warm October.

Two Birthday Cakes

Last week we celebrated Hannah's Birthday twice.Once on Wedesday the 4th her birthday, and again on Sunday when we had a childrens party at Mc Donalds.
Above are some pictures of both.
