SUMMERTIME.... AND THE LIVING IS EASY....

All across Hong Kong small children were heard asking their parents on Sunday... Mummy, Daddy - what is that big orange thing in the sky? and where has all the water gone?

Yes the sun finally returned after what has to have been the most consistently miserable weather for years. I feel so pale I might as well have wintered in England. Anyway hopefully that was the end of winter, and the false dawn that is spring, and summer is finally here. Typhoons, rainstorms, sunshine, cold beer and locals out in 36 degrees and 99% humidity but still wearing hats, scarves, sun visors and thick woolly clothing lest a ray of sunshine get to their skin and make them turn any colour other than ghostly white.

I think we should start a movement to turn the titles around and dub the locals gweilos - after all they are without doubt the whitest people here.
