Weekend

The weekend is nearly over. It’s ten pm on Sunday night and I’m typing this while Matthijs is sleeping next to me on the sofa. Nadine’s already in bed as she’s got an early flight tomorrow. Ella just got home so it’s about time to put Matthijs back into his bed in his own room.
Weekend was great. The weather in DB is now turning a little cooler which means no more sweltering heat and humidity, but a very pleasant 28 - 30 degrees with a slight breeze.
This is really the best time of year in Hong Kong; it’s still warm, but no longer hot like in the summer. And the good thing is that usually this lasts till Xmas and New Year.
We’ve spend the weekend around the house and today we’ve been around the city a bit. There was a Mammoth bones exhibition in Olympic and we went to check it out. It’s got twenty thousand year old skeletons from the last Ice Age in China on display.
Matthijs is still too young to appreciate these things, but he was properly impressed by the huge exhibits and even a life size mock-up mammoth.
The exhibit put some perspective to the Ice Age cartoon film he watched tonight - although I probably have to explain the whole thing again when he’s a bit older…
Goodnite!
Marc
