Kung Hei Fat Choy


I found a packet of six paper lanterns in the loft, so I have hung them up, with the dragon that Rosie and I made last year. I may produce some sort of Chinese Meal this evening. 
Kung Hei Fat Choy ~ congratulations and be prosperous!
I don't think I shall celebrate with quite the enthusiasm I had when supply teaching fifteen years ago [pictures here]

      I prefer a wig - instant result and easily reversible!

    Oh my goodness, Ang, the things we did to bring some fun to education! You were such a good sport to join in with the red theme during a supply teaching day. And yes, you do look good as a redhead! Catriona

      I'm not sure the rest of my wardrobe would work with that red hair (but I suppose with my blue and white Breton stripes I would look rather nautical)

    The Chinese New Year seems so much more fun than the British New Year as celebrated around here.

    新年快乐了！（xin nian kuai le) Happy new year. In Mandarin. Kung (or Gong) hei fat choi is a well known Cantonese new year greeting.

    I enjoyed seeing you with red hair! I hadn't realized that today was the start of the Chinese New Year. Too late to plan Chinese food, alas.

    The decorations are lovely! The Lunar New Year celebrations (many Asian countries, in addition to China, celebrate it) are underway here, too. :)

      I have noticed that although it was always referred to as "Chinese New Year" I school, lately the term "Lunar New Year" is much more common, and is more correct. As you say, the event is marked in many other Asian countries too
