Yesterday we planned to meet up with some of the othe ex-pats here in Anshan and have a bit of a natter. Well, Dennis, who is staying with us at the moment had a nose bleed which was pretty bad but we managed to stop it and left to meet the others. Just about to arrive at our destination and Dennis called from home and said that his nose was bleeding very badly again so back we went and took him to the hospital. Blood was pouring out of his hooter and his mouth and it did not look too good. Hospital took great care of him and kept him there for a few hours so off Mei and I went to meet the others and enjopyed a some conviviality together. Eventually got home with Dennis. 

Dennis has gone to Dalian this morning so we have the house to our selves again, for a while that is.

Been very hot of late but some rain this morning and my plants are loving it. Dennis is coming to visit today, he comes from Onehunga and visited a couple of years ago, bringing me some jandals and some more mint sauce. We aill jave a roast for dinner.

Because it has been hot remembered when it was so cold up in Harbin, near Siberia in Russia so some photos of our holiday there. A bit of a flashback, I guess .
