Yes of course we are still here! and enjoying it.
Jeff
Indeed and I look forward to more. I especially liked the "unedited" direct post by the lady herself I must say. I think you (and the rest of us, except Bob perhaps) better start practicing our layout technique and photography or she will put us to shame.Please pass that along to your lovely wife.
Yeah,
I'm quite certain you lot especially liked the "unedited" and too direct post by the Lady herself....
....Still, my own discomfort with it is self-inflicted and I guess that's why this shirt-of-the-moment is most appropriate;
I have translated your kind comments and passed them on though.
It's not the best of internet connections I have here meaning that uploading photos is quite time-consuming, so I'll get some more posted on our return to Dalian.
While the primary reason for us popping up in Beijing again, (yet another visit to the Brit Consulate), was successfully concluded, I have to report that we've run out of time to fully attend to the secondary reason, (getting an international TS order out of Customs hot and sticky clutches and chasing up the postal service). However, I now have the couriers contact details and the necessary import documentation and ought to get that order released over the next week or so, and then couriered on to our residential address. Unfortunately, it means I won't get to play with my new WWII Tanks and Figure sets until I get back from Thailand sometime in early September....
Aye, the simultaneous joys of being a TS collector and living in China. The really frustrating part of it all is; this is where the things are manufactured...!!!
The weather has been fairly disgusting this week. Either unbearably hot and humid - or lashing down with rain, so we haven't really done too much of the touristy stuff on this occasion. However, I did get some vaguely TS-related snaps that Yvonne, (and others), might find interesting and I'll post them when I get the chance.
Aye, and "unedited" posts ought to be an event of the past, given the tongue-lashing I handed out. Trouble is, I'll be ignored as usual; for years I laboured under the preconceived and completely incorrect notion that Chinese Ladies tend to be somewhat subservient towards their men. LOL and HO-HO-HO....it didn't take too long for Missus H to put me right on that one....I don't think I've ever met such an independent individual in my life and I'm actually dreading the antics I'm imagining she might get up to on this forum when I disappear off to Bangkok again next Saturday.
Time to think about changing my password I reckon. Hey, maybe I can get THE COUNCIL OF MODERATORS to temporarily ban any attempted posts from the IP address we use at home - now that's a comforting idea.
Her pal who helped her put up that "unedited" post is a different story though, and I look forward to the verbal I'm going to dish out when I eventually get my hands on her.
Not really, cos I'll just get even worse verbal back, but its a consoling thought.
Anyway, it's virtually impossible to remain even slightly mad at My Wee Tin of Boot Polish for too long - especially when she lets me take her to places like this for an entire day;
Unbelievably, Missus H has also been working during every spare moment on that silk embroidery picture that I'm intending to purloin for my own display. It ought to be finished today - and she's been muttering and mumbling about heading straight to the framing shop as soon as we arrive home around 06:00 tomorrow morning. Good luck, cos she'll be going there herself. Hope she chooses a decent frame though.
As previously mentioned, we've picked up a few more nick-nacks that ought to enhance her displays, and I'll get them posted next week as and when the opportunity, (and inclination), arises.
Cheers
H & L
