Weekly Round-Up

May 3, 2010

in Daily Life, Linyi

The DH tells me I posted my “BIG” news banner a little early. I guess I did. We’ve still got BIG news coming, but I can’t spill the beans publicly, yet. I’ll give you a hint, though. Whatever it is, it will require boxes. And I’m really happy about it. Can you sense that yet? [...]

Sometime early this morning, Spring arrived. Finally, the air is warm, the trees are blossoming, the birds are chirping. Welcome Spring! Where have you been? With the arrival of warmer weather over the last few weeks, we started to experience the great household temperature inversion – that period of time when the Chinese apartment suddenly [...]

The Internet connection we have at home is so terrible that I’ve all but given up on Internet on the weekends. Thus the Weekly Round-Up on Monday. This past week found me diligently preparing for a new session of ATPL classes (that’s Airline Transport License) at work. I was scheduled to teach Aviation Meteorology, Physiology [...]

This week’s theme = quiet It’s a quiet Sunday evening here at Casa Global Gal. The whole house smells of curry and the DH and I are ensconced in our usual spot watching random TV shows and movies, anything we can find on Youku.com or Tudou.com really.

Weekly Round-Up and a Little Whining

February 28, 2010

in Asturias, Round Up, Spain

A little whining first: Over the years I have become a bit of a news critic, especially since becoming involved in aviation – there is a lot of disinformation out there. It was only today, however, that I learned that the news media often goof when it comes to another topic – my beloved Spanish [...]

The official Spring Festival/Chinese New Year holiday has come to a close. (Marking the arrival of the new year and spring.) Here in Beijing it certainly feels like spring even though I’m sure the temps will drop again before spring is official. Right now it’s 14C and so warm I had to buy a new [...]

The Past Month Or So… In case you hadn’t noticed, I’ve neglected to write my weekly round-ups for the last month or so.Sorry about that. It’s now been one month since I returned from my holiday trip to the US and I have to admit it has been a difficult adjustment this time around. Linyi [...]

20 December 2009 Oh dear, here it is Sunday and I’ve completely missed my Saturday Weekly Round Up posting. And looks like I’ve neglected to post for most of the week… oh well! That’s holiday travel for you. I’ve been far too busy shopping and eating to post. And yes, I mean that quite literally. [...]

12 December 2009 Here I sit on my sister’s sofa, one of my nieces beside me and a nephew playing with a giant yellow dump truck on the floor at my feet. I’ve got a belly full of beef fajitas and I’m about to fall asleep, even though it is only 6PM. Awww, Mexican food. [...]

5 December 2009 Today I woke to a strange light filling my bedroom. I think it’s called sunshine? After a foggy and gray week, we finally got a little relief in the form of a cold front. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw the blue sky. The DH was at work bright [...]
