One afternoon in Manchester

High tea at the Midland Hotel and pratting about in the square by the City Hall afterwards...

Perusing the menu: Hmmmmm.... shall we have high tea, or high tea?

Cavebaby she say chomp to you!

The old and decrepit Ah Beng and Ah Lian

The hamsome (i.e. full of ham) Capt Caveman and the gorgeous Cavebaby

for old times' sake

Wow! fast track to my mates from old school dayz! Tracked down some former friends classmates from ACS thru Blogger and SEMESTI/ Exeter Uni thru Facebook this week. Also re-made contact with a friend in Ozland, and with my cousin. Isn't modern technology amazing in helping us to stay in touch even when we are all-the-way-round-the-world apart?

Me ole friend Yvette is right - no idea what they look like now (some of them I haven't seen for 25 years) but I'll always remember most of them as 16 or yr olds!

And so - a warm welcome from Goatville, Karen Ho, Chuin Loon and SM Ting, and a big wave to Aunty Sophie and Aunty Irene!

One decade on!

Happy birthday to Cavebaby!

Then....

and now... Many happy returns!

the old luddite gives in to the 21st century
