Is it March already?


I am sitting here, waiting for the final episode of Battlestar Galactica EVER to download so, thought that as the computer was on, why not update you all. So, greetings to those of you who still bother to visit this blog. I had every good intention of blogging on a regular basis, but have already fallen into my usual slovenly blogging ways. Apologies.
So, it is nearing the end of March, so that means Spring is here. We have only been in Seoul for 4 weeks, and have noticed even in that short time that the weather has warmed up considerably. We started off in heavy coats, scarves and boots, and today went out in t-shirts and jeans.
On Mt Achasan, which we visit most days, there are lots of little shoots appearing out of the ground, and in the next few weeks all the cherry blossoms are expected to arrive in unseen before quantities. It is quite fun to see the mountain come alive after winter killed everything off (above ground). Mila has been climbing with John a couple of times, and Trinity and I tend to cry off if we can.
Our new apartment will be ready within the next 2 weeks, with new flooring and wallpaper throughout. I had to choose all the wallpaper from one book, so the results will be interesting. The timing of the place being ready is perfect as our things from America arrive by sea on March 28th, and the shipping company are going to hold them for free until April 10th. We hope to move in around April 2nd. John will be in New Zealand that week fulfilling his duty as best man for his cousin Matt, so we hope to get sorted while he is away.
We celebrated John's birthday on March 16th with a special cake that the girls designed. We don't have an oven so bought on at a small shop near here. The girls couldn't decide whether it should be pink, or blue, have a rainbow or flowers ... anyway, as you can see the results were perfect for a 37 year old man with 2 young daughters.
I seem to be updating my Facebook page much more regularly than this blog, so is you want you can pop over to Facebook and become my friend, then take a look at the rest of my stuff.
I will try to be more diligent here for those of you who are allergic to Facebook.

  1. Yes, this is exactly the cake I would have picked for John.

    I think we're going to start up BSG again. Too bad we can't swipe them from you. :)
