A little excitement this evening...
There I was quietly sitting mucking about on my computer, winding down when suddenly all hell let loose.
An extremely loud howling, wailing, concussive noise started without warning. The Fire Alarm!
Stopping only to turn off my computer, grab my handbag and a fleece, out I went. The three of us huddled outside the front door (luckily it wasn't raining), protecting our ears and wondering what the blue blazes was going on.
About one hour and one technician later we were allowed back in. In that hour we'd sat in the wardens' kitchen, tried to watch television in the paint-smelling common room and ended up hanging out in the laundry room.
The reason for the alarm - it was faulty!
Back to my peaceful evening then...

As Mr.hemingway once told"for who the bell rings"?
But now you're on the good side of a nice english weekend...Here in our small town weekend not so much to do,just peaceful work.
Exception tonigth, I'll been taken to the local pub for a pint or two (I'll let you know later the result) but again the aim is build business connections in chinese way.
Last friday got my first chinese lesson, well is always a pleasure to have the full attention of a language teacher...odd to me since the last structured language course was..many years ago maybe 25 or so.
i've started with the 420 strange sounds of the pidgin seems that to masterize this is a long way forward to the learning path.
Now I'm annoying everybody by reading loudly twice a day.
All the 420 .
tomorrow moonfestival kind of national holiday but monday visa interwiew at the it consulate .
