This long holiday, staying at home is the main theme. A little over half a measure. On National Day, I’ll head out for some fresh air. Then the autumn rain begins to linger.

long holiday is all about staying home. About halfway through the week, I’ll head out for a bit during National Day to catch some fresh air, but afterward, autumn rains will linger. Since I’m staying indoors anyway, might as well shop till I drop {}{}{} Bought two pairs of shoes for Dad {}{}{} Now off to the Forbidden City (surprisingly, I finished reading 20 books by Brother Tong already on the 3rd day {})—continuing my virtual tour of the palace! Shida Tong (I just want to buy and buy—I probably won’t actually knit anything) And a group purchase of an ancient Chinese dictionary (required by the teacher—for all three kids together)
