Can't tell you how excited ( feel like a "rock star") when the guards at school gesture madly that I have a package ( or in this case, "packages") waiting at the gate when I leave!!!! Both from my sister Jo- the bad news is- they are wrapped in Xmas paper, so I guess I have to wait until December 25th to open ( Do I?)
My camera is "screwy" due to the fog and combined pollution. It read 434 2.5 particles at 5 pm. ( Friday December 6th- Shanghai time) today - the reading was HAZARDOUS to health. Sheesh. I was worried about pollution if I accepted a job in Beijing - or even more Northern- I did not expect this. I wear a mask - like everyone else in this city- and hope for the best.
Did it stop me from my Friday sojourn to the Plaza? On a Friday night? For snacks and wine? Hell no! ( But I wore my mask!!!)
More…..I walk the "back" way to the Plaza when I shop there once a week, now. There are certain items I can't get at the "local" stores around the corner- like "candles"- which I continue to LOVE and "incense" which I burn each night- holiday cards and the like…..I used to go each day- but have found my food and paper needs close by………here's my walk to the "shops" as we refer to them
