Share Four Somethings - February



Something Loved: The Lunar New Year. I think it's my favorite celebration. 12 nights (14?) of fun: free shows, decorated streets, performances, good food and gathering with friends. even in Covid times, I got out and about a fair bit. We had a sensational dumpling box put together from a number of different restaurants. Magnificent. Mind you, now we have to wait another 12 months. 









Something Gleaned: I learnt that saying 'The Ukraine' is not only incorrect but actually politically incorrect, as it diminishes their independence. There is geopolitical history wrapped up in that tiny article.

















Something Braved: I don't think I've done anything particularly noteworthy. My Torschlusspanik list has stalled with the lockdowns. Maybe I need to get back into crossing those off and adding to it?














Something Achieved: I've not achieved very much - writing has stalled, I'm still taking longer to do work tasks than it should. I have started doing the Bay Run again, and quite quickly (for a walker) so I'll take that as an achievement - beginning to get my fitness back up.

















A very short post for what has been quite a fun month.

  1. Hello Lydia. I love your Lunar New Year photos, so interesting and beautiful. Good for you getting back out to the Bay Run. It's been cold and gloomy here recently, so I haven't been spending much time outdoors. I miss it and look forward to spring.

  8. I've always thought share 4 things would be fun, but I haven't gotten around to joining it. I've been a little fascinated by the lunar new year but I haven't had time to really look into it.

  15. We don't ahve lunar new year celebrations in the UK so these pics look fab! Sorry to hear that you don't feel you have achieved much but things often can't be quantified so you have probably done more than you think! Thanks for joining in with the #DreamTeam
