We Started The Day With Some Good News,

Wattana Computers called to say that the transformer had arrived,

so the scanner is now back on line, I must remember not to leave the transformer on the floor the next time we have a flood,

during the day and also in the evening we watched Wild China, a almost 6 hour long double DVD of the country, but what caught my attention was this, could this be mistaken perhaps for the original Yeti? 

 it is in fact a monkey,

a Yunnan snub nosed monkey, admittedly on the wrong side of the Himalayas for it to be a yeti, but I could see how some one could think it was a human,

 then we were out, 

 in the Secrets taxi,

to China Garden,  

to meet up with Russ who had recently arrived from the US, for starters Peking duck with pancakes,

 followed by a selection of main courses,

 all very enjoyable indeed,

 'Cheers!', from all of us,

 the meal could not have been better, we talked the evening away, next home,

feet up for some more of Wild China, I have used this link for the review of the DVD but it is a lot cheaper on Amazon, one of the many periods of history that I enjoy is the plant hunters that traveled the world looking for new plants around the 1900's so I was quiet pleased to see that Joseph Francis Charles Rock received more than just a passing mention, also his unique movie of his expedition there, a prime candidate for the Indian Jones character if ever there was one, then for us off to bed.
