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

Oh go on! Dye your hair red!
ReplyDeleteI prefer a wig - instant result and easily reversible!
DeleteThat 15 year old post was hilarious! You suited the wig!
ReplyDeleteMmm, Chinese food is yummy!! Am v hungry! Am also v late for school so no time for brekkie! BUT just realised that SLT left a platter of fruit from their meeting in the fridge!! I could eat some if I am quick! X

DeleteOh 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
ReplyDeleteI'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)
DeleteOh, that brings back memories of manic music lessons!

DeleteThe Chinese New Year seems so much more fun than the British New Year as celebrated around here.
ReplyDeleteOh it does
Deleteζ°εΉ΄εΏ«δΉδΊ！（xin nian kuai le) Happy new year. In Mandarin. Kung (or Gong) hei fat choi is a well known Cantonese new year greeting.
ReplyDeleteThank you - and to you and your family too
DeleteLoved your red wig, you were a scarlet woman! Kung Hei Fat Choy to you too. Regards Sue H

DeleteColonoscopy day tomorrow so no solids after 2pm today! Don't know what to do with myself if I'm not cooking!!Your post has made me hungry!
ReplyDeleteOoooh. Hope it goes ok π❤️
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI think you can eat it on another day!π₯’π
DeleteThe decorations are lovely! The Lunar New Year celebrations (many Asian countries, in addition to China, celebrate it) are underway here, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI 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
