Det är underbart att ha Anna o Carl är igen. Har längtat så efter dom. Är ledig denna veckan så att vi kan vara tillsammans. Kalle lider av Jetlag. Han somnar förvisso kl 7 pm som vanligt men har de senaste två kvällarna vaknat efter 2-3 timmar och varit otröstlig. Kan inte somna om. Har slutat med att vi tagit in honom i vår säng och där har han somnat mellan oss. Han brukar ju vakna runt 6 am. Men igår vaknade han 08.40. Så visst har hann jetlag. Dessutom är han trött på dagarna. Men lika glad som vanligt. Och leker med alla sina nya bollar. Sparkar, slår och kastar. Hur kul som helst.
Hade tänkt att ta med dom ner till poolen. Men efter 4 veckor jättefint väder är det typiskt att en ny tyfon drar in över Hong Kong, nu har varning nummer 8 utfärdats och då stänger skolor, publika transporter, etc. Så poolen får nog tyvärr vänta några dagar. Men vad gör väl det. Förutom 101 bollar, nya mjukisar och böcker, så har vi ännu inte prövat Carls radiostyrda helikopter. Det blir ett projekt det! Får nog smyga igång den i vardsrummet när inte Anna ser ...
Joy Kin!
