Having handed vast amounts of money in the form of cheques to our estate agent last week, we waited with baited breath over the weekend to see if we had actually got the apartment we were hoping for. And the answer is yes, thankfully. We will be in The Leighton Hill...

First truly nice day in Hong Kong, and sadly our last one of holiday before we start work tomorrow. So we’re up the peak, but not in Bubba Gump…

Funny watching England play rugby on the computer and live cricket on the TV. We know the rugby result, but the cricket is too close to call. The view is of Trott getting out, and some rugby stuff. Come on you England!
