Winter returns

The fine weather broke into showers and light hail. It's very cold. Checked the weather forecast and again it said "Bloody cold!"

My new heater is hot - but only if you stand in front of it. It doesn't quite warm up the entire room, just the area around it. Well ... can't complain. There're many poor people who don't even have heating right now. The cold however has been affecting my ankle and slipped disc. Painful to walk. Am spending most of my day in bed reading. Sitting can be quite a trial with the sciatica.

Anyway received your "fai chun". Tomorrow I'll be cleaning up my room for the CNY and putting up the blessings on my door. Sunday night I'm organising a Reunion dinner for the 2 chinese priests and Fr Val from Singapore and some other good friends. Will go to Mandarin Restaurant. Ah Ling the owner is going to do up a traditional chinese meal not  offered in the menu.

Then I have to have dinner with my former students from Ratisbonne. And then after that, another meal with my former colleagues at the Media Center. It's going to be a tough week for my stomach.
