70 and Looking Good!

Weather still dull and miserable. Christian went to watch Jean play football and i buried my nose in a book. "Sea of poppies" by Amitav Ghosh.Enjoyed the story, the history and well drawn images of life at the time of the 1st Opium War(how we reap as we sowed!) but I have to say that the mish-mash of pidgin-English which I didn't always understand left me wondering how much of the interactions I missed out on.
The evening was Janine's 70th birthday celebrations and the reason for our visit. The setting in the tennis club gave wonderful views over to the marina and a wide expanse of sea busy with shipping coming and going into the Port.
