Interlude

---

I finished writing my exam papers today, and emailed them off to the University.

The temperature climbed to over thirty, and the air looked thick enough to chew. The tower of the Park Metropolitan, not five minutes' walk up the road, threatened to haze into the chalky sky and get lost all together. Students have been streaming out of the campus all weekend, loaded down like ants with improbably bundles, going home for Dragon Boat festival.

This evening we decided to bar the door and turn on the air-con in the bedroom. We carried in the dining room table and the last half-bottle of port and the second-to-last bar of Green&Blacks' chocolate, turned up the volume on our album of Japanese Ska music, and had a game of Carcasonne.

Chris in tent
Our windows and doors all have screen nets which we keep shut as much as possible, but after waking up one morning with one arm covered in mosquito bites we decided to take the battle to the next level and do what our students have been doing since about May: voila- the mosquito net. Remembering to unzip it before attempting to get out of bed at night is a bit of an issue, but bites are definately down.

Debris
Our stylish university-issue furniture following our game. Winner has to clear up.

Me lately
Because I've had port and feel I'm pretty and generally worth it: this is me in Shanghai a couple of weeks ago. Gosh, isn't my hair long. Though Chris's gets all the attention. I think I forgot to smile in this one though.

Hello, world
We are enjoying ourselves very much. But we're also looking forwards ever so much to coming home to you all.
