The weather lately here in Hong Kong has been fowl.
Sure its 27 -28 degrees but the wind and rain that comes with these temperatures makes it just down right miserable!
Rain here can creep up on you and before you know it, your flat is turned into a dark almost apocalyptic like zone with grey/green undertones.
Since living here, we've all grown accustomed to the hot humid weather Hong Kong has to offer. Hell even summer trips to France have us whipping out the mismatched gloves and jumpers.
While the family is splashing happily in the pool, my girls are dressed in woolies and complaining of the cold. Returning back to a european climate is going to take some getting used to.
Trying to get a taxi is almost next to impossible when the heavens open, so remember to always have an umbrella. I just love how when you really need a taxi to take your drenched body home, they are almost always 'out of service'.
So this week-end being a long one, yes my girls are off school yet again, we'll have to come up with things to keep them occupied and me sane!!
One thing that keeps my little Mathilde happy in this rainy weather is the endless supply of puddles that are left outside. Unfortunately the guardians and gardeners of our residence are less impressed with the muddy battlefield that's left after most of the kids have finished splashing.
