Home for Christmas...another quiet day?

 Well it was Christmas!  I am used to having Christmases alone as for the past few years I have been working and my family have take the opportunity to go to Germany without me!  So, I was expecting a sleepy day in front of the telly watching some rubbish or other.  How wrong I was! I suppose it was ten o'clock and I was sitting unshaved unwashed on the sofa wondering what not to do, when I got a text from Taylor.  Taylor was the young woman who took me and her friend swimming in the Taoping river last summer.  She is heavily pregnant now.  She had heard that I had had my appendix out and that it was Christmas and that I'd be alone.  She had a plan!  She would be over in the afternoon, what did I want to eat.  Taylor lives in Tongren, and despite it only being an hour away by bus/car, it is a whole new world!  They have things there!  What did I want to eat?  Yikes!  Cheese.  I have not eaten Cheese of any sort...
