Winding Down the Week, 10/11-12/13

FRIDAY, 10/11/13

Friday is “Assembly Day” at BISS.  All the elementary classes present the iMovie of their “on the road” adventures.  They spend the morning putting it together, and then everyone presents at the assembly.  Judy says they’re really cute, and all but grades 1&2 create their own iMovie.  After school, Judy has musical rehearsal at the end of school, so her day runs pretty long.

Check out the window washers, about halfway up the building.  No scaffolding,

My day is finished by 12:30. I have two classes, lunch, and then guitar club, and it’s back to the apartment for me.  I catch up on a few loose ends, and then take a really long nap.  This is a rough life!  Judy comes home and we plan for the weekend.

SATURDAY, 10/12/13

I can’t believe it, but we’re going to Ikea.  There’s no way all our stuff is going to fit in the current storage areas we have.  We’re going to have to buy some shelving and wire drawers to get everything put away.  Saturday is different than the Sundays we’ve visited Ikea.  The crowd isn’t too bad.  We arrive early, and find everything we need.  We schedule shipping for tomorrow, and they’ll assemble as well.  It’s a relief to know I won’t have to be crawling around on the floor, reading assembly instructions in Chinese.

The rest of the day is spent putting things away and preparing for our delivery tomorrow.  I finish up with a walk over to the grocery for some essentials, and a stop by KFC on the way home.  It’s a really good “spicy chicken sandwich”.

  1. Gordon and Judy,

    Just caught up on your time in China. Love the blog! I’m thrilled to get a feeling of how it might be to actually live overseas for an extended time.

  2. Good to hear from you! Life’s a little different, but we’re certainly not “drifting off” into retirement over here.
