On the No-Blog Train......

almost 2 weeks since my last post.
That has to be a record for me.
Maybe I am unknowingly on an unplanned sabbatical.
The mo-jo just ain't here..... and I'm not sure if there is a pill available to keep it going viagra-like.
So will wait for time to do it's thing.

Good cake stop.

There's been a National week off, and we spent a fair bit of it wandering around the city... and stopping for coffee and other good things. National week cost me Droptober.
No worries, I sorted it. See how everyone BUT me has a cake plate!?
Good girl Gail.
I thought though, I'd sneak a stop in here before tonight.
Tonight my sister arrives for 10 days.
Therefore I am expecting that I won't be here for those 10 days at least.
There is shopping to be done.
And pandas to revisit.
And other Chinese-y things to do.

This is my favourite lunch @the Bookworm.... Chicken noodle salad.
Lunch and books.... does it get much better than this?
Photobucket
Oh yes, it does.
I finished reading a book last night.
The ending peeved me off.
(see top book in photos)
Onto the next one.
Photobucket
Blurry shot, but my I couldn't get close enough or be still enough without being invasive.
Under the motorway/highway here there are teahouses.
I love this use of space.
People sit, talk, play Ma Jiang, cards.... and drink tea.
And smoke.
Anyways,
I am reading (your blogs - loving your posts btw).
Photobucket
this is also under the highway.
I am not often commenting.
Photobucket
the streets here are always busy and full of life.
I am sorry. I am not being rude.
(If I was being rude, it would be in the form of a rude and arrogant comment on your blog :)  Don't think I've been there...... yet. Maybe that will truly be the demise of my blogging career... when I start being one of those comment leavers and y'all start blocking me...)
I will be back... just gonna hang out here on the no-blog train a little bit longer.
It's quite a comfy ride.
See you in 10 or so days.
I think.
Photobucket
What's a post from me from here without a bike picture aye?
GO THE ALL BLACKS!!!!!!!

Ha ha if you wrote a rude and arrongant comment it would be very strange and out of character! Loving the photos of scenes on the streets.
