Like riding a bike!

So whats changed in town?? hmmm not much 🙂

Have I changed…hmm not much probalby a good thing..except for the weight which is neither going up nor down

Has much changed around the house…well apart from a great ruddy big vege garden starting to emerge on the top of our section…not much else which means we have done nothing about upgrading anything on the inside like we should

How are the pets…well Cola the beagle is older….gets to do things her way….gets away with far too much and as we come home each day we hold our breath until we hear the bark from the garage

Pepsi the mixed up huntawy- poor pepsi she has a bad case of arthritis in one of her back legs and her muscles are getting weaker and weaker…she still loves her walks but hobbles alot more and will be on drugs now until it all gets too much

George the king of cats- well that cat seems like he will live forever and shows no signs of being old except to sleep all day…what a life 🙂

Mickey the cat who adopted us! – she seems to be getting older…put on a bit of weight even…even took to eating a bit of cat meat…stops her chasing the birds…she will last for years to come

so for anyone who is interested and hasn’t been to djd’s page we recently went on the most fabulous holiday to Brunei for a couple of nights and then on to Hong Kong for 10days….it was just the best best best holiday. Would it be my most favourite…hmmm thats a hard one but it sure is one to beat!

Now all I have to do is get my photo’s organised. But here is a taste of some from the first day/night being there

 

 

A water village…..houses on stilts with wooden plank walkways connecting everything just like streets and footpaths where I was caught and taking pictures and waved at 🙂

and there are always flowers about

Mosques abound…but these two were particularly pretty at night

And this tower…the next day I would get to enjoy walking up the 300 steps to the top…there’s more to that story 🙂

So I guess writing and posting pictures is a bit like riding a bike…one never seems to forget how to do it.

nice to hear from you again. So sorry you’ve been sick and now poor Djd has it too. Maybe if I cook more soup and let it boil rapidly, the steam will rise into the clouds and head down your way, then rain soup onto you directly. That seems the quickest way to get it to you…LOL Nice photos…..your trip sounds and looks fabulous..I am quite envious. huggles P

Oh, how good to see you writing here again. Welcome back! And photos of Brunei, too! That village on stilts looks really special. And the lit-up mosques are spectacular, aren’t they. I hope both you and djd post more about your trip.

Welcome back! The trip sounds fabulous – I didn’t know they had mosques in Hong Kong. And man – how do they let their kids out to play in that water village?? Scary!

ok !!! all right!! so glad you came back, if briefly. and those mosques are real gems, just incredible! where>>>?

Hi! What a fabulous holidy you two had. 300 steps…wasn’t that a movie?? Well, the 300 part. Glad to hear that your menagerie is doing well…or at least aging gracefully. Something I’m attempting to do is be graceful without aging.

miss you a big bunch. and would you believe that we did not get more than 40 miles from las vegas when i snapped those shots??that rig is wonderful. i was terrified that we were house bound when sweetie got so sick this last spring. and i had just bought that rig. ack. i threatened to sell him on ebay. heh. (but not till after he was well enough to enjoy the joke.)
