The Invisible Thread
This evening we read The Invisible String by Patrice Karst.
Since we got back from the UK nearly three weeks ago, Felix has had huge problems getting to sleep on his own. He desperately wants me to sleep in his bed with him, he keeps getting out of bed to give me one more hug, one more kiss....all incredibly sweet until about 11pm when the charm begins to wear off. One of the teachers at school recommended this to me. It is absolutely perfect for Felix - not only is it about being loved even though you're apart, it's also about bedtime, and it's also about twins!
BBQ On Shek O Beach
We spent a few relaxing hours on Shek O beach at the weekend, having a BBQ and taking advantage of the shade! You can book at BBQ pit at Liu's (+852 2809 4579) which is on the far left hand side of the beach. You need to bring food and cutlery, but Liu's will provide charcoal, a grill and tongs. You can get drinks and marshmallows there too. We booked the pit for 1pm and had it till 6pm - it was nice to have some shade once we'd been on the beach for a while!
Shanghai
Just a few days in Shanghai in April, as Ross was going for a work event and we decided to tag along. We met up with my friend Jacqui who lives in Shanghai. She was a fantastic host and looked after us really well. Such a treat to see the city with her.
We bought SIM cards for China before we left HK; they made life SO much easier! Definitely worth doing. Also your data connection is still through HK so you can access Google and Facebook etc even though you are in China.
