Blogging weather
I am not very good at this blogging thing.
It is all the small things I see and experience here that I want to be remembering, but I never seem to get around to recording any of them.
I read other people’s writing and become disheartened, wishing that I could express myself with the same elegance. I’m sure I’d have quite a story if I could.
I should, i suppose, be writing more rather than less, just in case it is something that can come with practice.
The wind is absolutely howling at the moment, which is a rare occurrence in Hefei. I think there is a storm on the way. No better time, I guess, to sit down and write something.
Chandler and I just went for a lively walk around the lake as the wind blew our hair in every direction. Chandler had a wonderful time, it was just like sticking his head out the car window and being able to run and pee on things all at the same time.
As we walked past the path to our building, one of my neighbours called down from her balcony. We have met a few times and she is always very sweet to me even though she doesn’t speak a word of English and I am always too shy to speak any Chinese.
Her nightdress was threatening to blow up over her head at any moment as she cheerily yelled down for me to come inside quickly as the rain was on its way.
We have such a warm and friendly community atmosphere here. If only I could work out how to use my oven, I think I would make her a cake.

Don’t be disheartened, I love the way you write:) Just be yourself.
What a nice community you have there. Everyone seems to be looking out for you. Bake that cake already:)
First time commenting, many times reading
I love your blogging. I read some archives of yours and you mentioned you wished perhaps more comments could be left. I don’t know etiquette for leaving comments, but too many is that considered stalking? 
Dont’ know. Your writing is humorous, detailed enough for readers to get the picture and is even better when accompanied with photos. I envy your situation. It sounds exciting and a little scary at the same time.
Hi Nessa,
I so have to start baking!
An old man stopped me this morning to ask me if I was too cold, as I was in short sleeves. So cute.
Hi Jennifer
Thank-you for your lovely comment!
I’m still getting used to this blog etiquette too… but theres no such thing as too many comments as far as I can see
I’ve never met any of the people who leave me regular comments, and I’ve been surprised to find how friendly this whole blogosphere place is… Not at all as weird at I has always imagined it would be!
