Cor Blimey! I am posting mid Wednesdays

Well, it is early morning here and I am posting this from my bed. Lazy lady!

Yesterday we had a day off from our nursing duties and family members came in and did shifts in being with Mary whilst we went to Chinatown, courtesy of Maria who suggested it.  Thanks to Carrie and Russ for organising the sitters.

The day was supposed to be wet so we set off with umbrellas and waterproofs but I thought it was warm enough, coming from Britain you are tougher than the Californian girl we were with, namely ex-Scottish Maria, so I went coat-less most of the day.


View from the station along the line

We did our usual walk along the street until we came to the market. I wish I had taken some photographs in there as it is like a warren with all the aisles making twists and turns, so easy to get lost.  Then it was up to my favourite supermarket, a few gifts bought and on to this lovely little square.

We first discovered this lovely little plaza two years ago when we were there for the Chinese New Year but we didn't remember this little area.


same spot but with Maria and the other side of the water

Looking back over Chinatown from the station - bye for another year.


I did take a lovely photo on my phone of red lanterns adorning the Plaza with a lovely building in the background.  It is fine on my cell phone but will not download for some reason.  Ah well!

Must get up and at 'em - stamping day and things to do once I have got my patient settled.  If only I could stay in bed - Yawn .....
