weeknotes, 46/24

another week of my body succumbing to viruses and giving me trouble. the flavor of the week: conjunctivitis! first one eye, then the other became scratchy and itchy, and it’s just… ugh. the drops the doctor prescribed seem to be working, though. dear body, can you please behave? ain’t nobody got time for this.

we booked the trains for our christmas trip up north, and also made plans for the new year’s get-together! somehow, it always takes a lot of energy to get these things done. initially, i thought it might be interesting to use the new “green railway pass” that the government launched recently, but the trains in which it applies make the trip longer and cumbersome, with more changes. :(

it rained a lot this week, and the river in tavira was super high. everyone is on high alert because of what happened in spain some weeks ago, but it wasn’t that bad here. i hope all this water means our dams will be a little fuller, and we won’t have as much water troubles next year. fingers crossed!

bali

lately, p. and i have been talking a lot about bali, more exactly, about spending a week or so there, in the sunny beaches.

anything to take our thoughts away from this cold weather. i don’t know who told us shanghai would be cold and dry in the winter but so far, it hasn’t been true. there’s cold allright, but there’s also a sort of silly rain falling every now and then, just to keep the levels of humidity high enough. our stomach might have already adapted itself to the food but our body is still struggling to understand this permanently wet new weather, with little aches here and there…

anyway, i digress. what i wanted to say was that today i got this card, sent to me from a taiwanese girl living in malaysia who spent her new year in bali:

so bali again, gently sneaking into our lifes. sounds like a good omen. :)
