A Building in the Tianyi part of Wuxi, China

 I saw this as I was going for a wander to pass the time as I waited for son to have his facial done.

Xu Xiake at the Jiangyin Museum

 

A road is named after him that takes me from Jiangyin to Casa Kaulins.  There is also a park named after him that is a ten minute drive from Casa Kaulins.

Locals have told me that he travelled a lot around China 

Sun Yat Sen st the Jiangyin Museum

 

He was a radical.  He died prematurely.  I prefer Yuan Skikuai.

Latvia in the QFs!

 

Birdie!

 I was wandering this plaza in Jiangyin when I saw this:

Make of it, what you will.

Traffic Jam on the Hump

 The Hump is what I call a road that goes over a ridge near my Jiangyin apartment complex.  I hate the Hump because it is friendly for cars but not for cyclists and pedestrians.

But I’ve never seen a traffic jam on it till tonight: Saturday night.

OMG! I’m a White Supremacist!

 Here’s the link.

Latvija!

 

F You Mother!

 It’s my Jiangyin weekend.  Every second week, I go back to Wuxi.  So next weekend, Wuxi!

Back to this weekend.  Friday night, I stayed in the apartment.  Finished watching episode one of this series Silo which I will further watch till its wokeness annoys me.  Saturday, I have farted around the apartment, doing laundry, reading, surfing the internet, and trying to motivate myself to do my 2023-24 schemes of work.  

I also have gone out to do some grocery shopping.  I went to the Heng Long Mall which is a 10 RMB Didi ride from the apartment.  I took a public bicycle to the Mall to save the 10 RMB.  I did my shopping and took a Didi back.

Waiting for the Didi, some would-be ruffians on bicycles , rode by.  They said some would-be greeting in a patronizing tone, so I didn’t really look up from my phone to even glance at them.  I heard laughing and as they got further away, one of them said “f*** your mother!” I could only bemusingly smile. 

Boys will be boys, I suppose.

Someone on WeChat wanted to be a contact, saying they liked my blog.  I wonder if they are Wordle fans.

Latvia Slovenia

 

I’m hoping Latvia can make it to the quarterfinals of the IIHF tournament.  The victory over Slovenia puts them in a good position to do so.
