I’ve been waiting several weeks to take this shot. The rain has finally abated (fingers crossed). For two days there have been blue skies.

The shot is not particularly dramatic, but I like the lines. This is part of the roof of the school building that holds my office and classroom.

Are you good at math? What is the answer to the above stevarian equation? The above (and below) is the result of my rain-induced cabin fever.

It has been raining, for the most part, for three solid weeks. Every weekend, for as long as I can remember, has been shrouded in grey clouds and foul weather.

The Dragon Boat Festival three day holiday saw me house-bound. While walking in the rain is considered romantic, it does get old. Fast.

I had to re-wash all the clothes hanging on the line. They had been there, half wet-half dry for so long they had begun to smell funky. Hopefully they will dry before the funkiness returns. Even if I had been able to go out during my days off I would have had little to wear. I haven’t descended to that stage where I go out in public attired like my or my friends fathers.

Here’s to sunny skies and a weekend at the beach.

I had a dozen better things to do last Saturday than go to Hong Kong, but go to Hong Kong I did. The guest house wanted a deposit on the rooms for our upcoming staff excursion. They didn’t mention they were unlicenced. Giving 3000 Hong Kong Dollars to an unlicenced Guest House is not the wisest move, so I didn’t.

As I sat in the bus station attached to the Kowloon MTR station, wondering if every former British colony is full of snotty people, I looked around for stuff to shoot. This sign grabbed my eye, probably because I like The Count and it’s Seasame Street-esque.
