Another night out with Jamie and friends



Just as I was going to my last lessn of the term, my phone rang.  I ignored it.  Just as I started to teach it rang again.  The distinctive 'WeChat' ringtone.  The kids were impressed.  Teacher has WeChat!  I apologised, left teh room breifly and checked the call.  It was my boss Jamie.  He was taking me outto diner..where was I.  I told him that I was teaching and that I would see him later.  Lesson ended, back to my office and there was anothter message. He wanted to know where I was becasue he was at teh school gate waiting for me and Anna. I changed into dry clothes and met him at teh school gate.  Off we went to the restaurant opposite our house.  Beef hotpot!  Sounded good, but beef is a losse term around here.  Beef usually means it comes from a cow, usually meat, but not always meat  other items are included in the term beef!  This was no exception.  It smelled and looked good but there were things in ti that we only eat in chicken nuggets! I just ate rice.  After the meal he said we were going for a walk.  I put my school gear in my flat and he drove us for a walk!  It was a beuatiful place, spoiled slightly by the car washing in the river, but it is China!
Left to right, Anna, Jamie's freind's cousin (who apparently lives in the same blosk of flats as me and Anna) Jamie's friend and Jamie.  All sitting at the hot pot table.  The dish in thecentre is heated and the food is all icooking away in it.
Same as above, but outside the restaurant.  The arched gate to therear is the gate to the slip road to mine and Annas apartments.






On the way to the weir.

The weir..slightly spoiled by the car washing.  Car wasing is a big 'thing' here.Not so sure I'd want to park mine there though!
...And after all this we eventually went home.  I sprayed my medicine and took the other stuff.  then to bed.  I slept until four-thirty, then on and off until about seven-thirty.  Today I am feeling somewhat better and (TMI) passing solids! Haha!
