Spring into life

Spring is going well here, the weather is warmer, tan is coming on well. The swimming pool opens today, and I start at the local gym this month. I will also start a new job as an 'Academic coordinator' - this means very little teaching. I sent my resignation letter to my present company today, and hopefully I'll be able to finish in the coming month. I did enjoy this job, but had to spend 50-60 hrs to complete my supposedly 25 hrs per week. This included at least 2hrs per day travelling between locations during my work day-unpaid!I raised my objections to my employer back in November, and now my patience has run out waiting for an agreement.
It looks as though Teosdee will be able to get back into work in the coming weeks-not sure where yet. It must now be over 2 months since I have been to Wanchai-and I don't miss it. Beer costs just $5 (30p) on the beach, and we usually light a barbie too-it's a hard life. Kids are great-as you can see from the pics and vids below. They love hiking, swimming and hanging out with chums on the beach. It was 27c yesterday-summer is nearly here, so are the mosquitoes, frogs,spiders and snakes .
My mum comes over next week, and apparently quite a few members of my family will come over later this year. Enjoy the spring and summer wherever you are in the world, give me a shout if you're in Hong Kong.
