There were some cloudy days recently, but it didn't rain much, although it has been rather humid and not over comfortable at times. Apart from a few cooler days a week or so back, it's been quite warm here so far this time. I guess I shouldn't get too used to it, though, because it will no doubt be quite a shock when I return to the temperatures of late autumn in Europe.
.... with the very demanding schedule. It's quite a journey from my hotel to the current place of work (Ap Lei Chau), so it means an early start each day, and a late return. I'm working here until Saturday of this week, then I have a different location for the final week of this tour. That location is also quite a long journey, although will not be as bad as this one as most of it will be possible using the MTR - Hong Kong's excellent underground railway system.

I seem to be reaping the benefit of making the effort to adjust my body clock, at least in part, before setting off for my tour here in Hong Kong, since I've been feeling quite alert today, which is usually one of the most difficult times during the first week of being out here. I'm hoping it will stay that way now.
The weather is currently settled and warm, which is very pleasant, but the hotel is over air conditioned for my taste, and the room will not budge above 24c, despite my best efforts. There's a total eclipse of the moon this evening, but with all the high buildings in this part of HK, I've no chance of seeing it unless I take a trek out to the country, which I don't have the energy to do after a long day behind a desk. ![]() .... today, with long queues seemingly everywhere I needed to go. I had to queue up for an hour and a quarter in the bank to cash a cheque; with today being the only time slot available for it, there was no other option. I then hoped to get some lunch, but was again thwarted by enormous queues at three different venues I tried - in the end I just gave up! A routine meeting occupied the morning, and quick trip to the IT centre followed my visits to the bank and the restaurants. Work begins in earnest tomorrow at 07.40, so I'm hoping that I can get a reasonable night's sleep tonight after my efforts to adjust my body clock, at least in part, before leaving home last week. Kowloon Park (right) remains a pleasant oasis in this busy corner of the city, and as it lies between the hotel and the MTR station, I get to pass through it twice each day for most of my time here.
