Strange how you only realise the importance of something once you have lost it. Our outside drain had been blocked for 3 days and during that time we were told that we couldn’t use the water… Oh how the dishes piled up! Not to mention the 10 second showers I’ve been having! But the worst part is not being able to use the toilet!!!

I won’t go in to details but let’s just say that I’m very VERY happy that the drain has now been unblocked.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!

It’s that random date in January/February time when we celebrate another new year in the Lunar Calendar. This year is the turn of the dragon, which will probably an extra nice dragon dance this weekend in chinatown. I may actually find time to attend this year!

Anyways, I wish you all a great year ahead, full of luck, prosperity and random thoughts!

OK first random thought post…

I was thinking (aloud) about how I refer to my housemates/flatmates/housemates/flatmates and whether I did live in a house or a flat. According to my work colleagues a house has a single external door which leads straight in to my home, whilst a flat requires you to enter a building and then enter another door to my place.

Question answered. I live in a house and I have housemates.
