HONG KONG THERE I WAS

Hello Blog-Fans!!

I got back and saw all the hundreds of emails you kindly sent asking for up-dates. I am always stunned by the number of you sad people out there just gasping and drooling for more news and blogs. I didn't manage to get a picture showing just how cute , cheeky and talented little Moo is!

At 13 months she can almost "sprint"! She's so fast!! Imagine that she has a duster in each hand and she's cleaning imaginary windows as she goes, that might give you some idea. See the football on the floor next to Hester. She kicks and dribbles that around the room with some skill, I can tell you!!!!

AND SHE DANCES!!!!!! Hester played some Beyonce (Bee Yon Say if you've never heard of her) and immediately Moo smiles and bobs up and down, giving at the knees! It's hysterical!!! We were walking through a shopping Mall. We had been for breakfast at the Mandarin Hotel on Central and needed to pick up some essentials from M and S afterwards. So we set off along corridors and spaces of marble, polished granite, chrome, glass and the pristine/dazzling horizontal, perpendicular and bizarre geometry of down-town Hong-Kong. Every vertical dimension, by the way, in Hong Kong, is just a "vehicle" for any and every BRAND. (I might return to that theme later) The flat shiny floors are perfect for Moo to strut her stuff Ussain Bolt meets Whacky Races...Look-out!!! So she doesn't need to hold anyones hand. She's happy to trot along beside us ( little arms waving to keep her balanced and to clean imaginary windows) when suddenly she hears some tannoy Musak playing. Stops in her tracks, grins wideley, and proceeds to DANCE her foot-planted, hands up, bobbbing up and down, little individual dance. I put it to you ladies and gentlemen of the jury......that we have here among us .........one crazy, cute amazing kid. She's only one year old for goodness-sake!!!!

Hester's outrageous talents centered around language, (I think), though she was part of the Dream-Team Hotwells Net-Ball team that beat all-comers in the 1990's!!! Lest U forgot!! But what do we have here in little MOO!!!

We stand open-mouthed..........., she's really physical, she's energetic, determined, yet with all her verbal skills ahead of her. We shall see.......................................or to be more precise in this context.........................We shall hear.

Go MOO!!!!!!!!!
