Cate is safely ensconced in
Shanghai in her hotel and her room overlooks
the Yangtze river. She says Shanghai looks interesting but is polluted. No surprises
there.
Before leaving she went
through the first two boxes of books and there were few survivors. Naturally –
seeing all these books for the first time in a long time – we want to read them
all again – but just know this is not going to happen - so Cate is being
absolutely ruthless.
I think that almost
everything will go and we will be left with just Cate’s kindergarten crayon
work, her high school text books – and all her university essays.
I have always been fascinated
by clouds and cloud shapes and spend a lot of time gazing at them. I have now discovered
that there is something called The Cloud Appreciation Society
which has turned cloud gazing into an art form.
There are some fabulous
photos on their website – and of course people specialise in taking photos of
clouds that resemble things in the real world.
I too love cloud shapes almost as much as I love watching them race across the sky. Tell Cate the only thing worth buying in Shanghai is pearls if you know enough about them and tea. Jade is good but is iffy if you are not savvy. Hate getting rid of books.
ReplyDeletethe bunny photo is AWESOME! (i also love clouds)

Yes, bunny, too.
yes I have something called a cloud with my new asus eee pad transformer prime with icecream sandwich and honey comb applications...( what ever all that means!)
ReplyDeleteNothing like cloud watching to pass the time. I usually see the interesting ones when I'm driving in the car and nowhere to pull over. I'll have to join the Cloud Appreciation Society, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI saw a big nose !
