Lest we forget! Another reading…
Hey! It’s Single’s Day! Did you buy anything?
Great Leap #45 gone! The others remain.
More comments on the YT channel! To be clear, I’m not looking to build some sort of “expat in China” vlog, I’m looking to create a channel that is more dedicated to language learning and living as an expat around the world rather than just one country.
Scones arrived! Maple and pumpkin! Always nice to have.
10% uppers are one thing, 3-4% uppers are another. But, if it’s a bull market, does it even matter?
Thinking of how to pre-sell this language vlog book I’ve got coming up. What needs to be done?

In Flanders Fields by John McCrae
In Flanders fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
