Sunny skies
The weather continues to be sunny over here. It's hard to believe that previous summertime visits to Canada were grey or wet.
Yesterday afternoon was occupied at the driving range with Jay (Evan's brother-in-law), attempting to remind little-used muscles of the correct way to swing a golf club. At first things went ok, but then the hated slice started to show it's ugly head again. Time to gracefully retire to a seat and shoot photos of Evan and Jay as they practice their swings. There were a suprising number of people at the course, given that it was a weekday. We obviously work in the wrong industry - or maybe it's just that we work at all?
Today started with Evan's birthday (yesterday in NZ), then visiting another shopping mall. I'm writing this from a coffee shop (this time Second Cup), trying in vain to locate free wireless internet access. It's a change from KL where every coffee place is working to attract people through their Wifi access.
Maybe it reflects the lower quality of coffee in KL? Interestingly, trying to locate a good cafe (or two) in Hong Kong, I searched CoffeeGeek to see what other people recommend. The general opinion was that Hong Kong is very short of adequate cafes. A couple of names were mentioned, but in the next greath people were saying that the cafes were closed, bought out by another company, or that it was ages since they'd been. Something to search out when we get there.
Evan's party is tomorrow night, so there is lots to get organised. Fill the kids paddling pool with ice to keep the drinks cool, obtain and prepare the food, etc. Guess it's time to get going.
