Lunar New Year Holidays 2024 農曆新年
Time flies and we are already three months into 2024! If you’ve been following my monthly look back, you probably know that I’ve been busy migrating my blog to a new server. Better than what I originally projected, the transfer of all contents had already been done last week. What remains is to monitor the new system and make any necessary tweaks; my life is finally back to normal.
話咁快 2024 又過了差不多四份一，大家如果有留意我最近的每月回顧，大概都知道我忙於轉移我的網誌去新的 server。上星期尾剛完成全部 contents 的搬動，剩下來是新系統的監察及作適當的微調，空間多一點，生活又可暫時回常。

Summer Holiday 2023 暑期活動 2023
Time flies and half of the summer holidays has gone. As usual, my wife will work out the summer activities for our son. Last year, we spent a week in Scotland, and this year we will stay a bit closer, in The Lake District.
不經意地暑假又過了大半，一如往年，太太會為兒子安排暑期活動。 上年去了蘇格蘭，今年就稍為近一點，目的地是英國湖區，The Lake District。
UK Horse Racing 英國賽馬活動
My wife recently asked if I would be interested to explore the British horse racing culture. Given that she would make all the necessary arrangement including the tickets, I had no reason not to immediately accept her offer.
早前太太問可有興趣到馬場體驗一下英國的賽馬文化，難得她會安排一切，包括購買入場票，我只須做個司機，真的找不到拒絶的理由。
