Spain/China 2023, continuing (28)

[aadler]

Fourteenth day in China – July 25 Tuesday

I woke a little early, maybe 7:30AM, stayed busy till Susan woke. Together we went downstairs to the Baker & Spice shop across the street, to get breakfast.

Not much through the day, both of us napping just a bit. Our lunch was some pastries we brought back from this morning’s breakfast.

Just before 3:00PM (which would be 3:00AM EST in the States), I went to summer_of_giles and posted this year’s story, “Listen to the Mockingbird”. I love the way it feels when I have a fic done and posted.

Along about 5:30PM we headed over to the Yins’, as usual. I nodded off while they were getting dinner ready, was awakened when it was time to eat. Kevin was there (and Amber, of course, but she pretty much always is); Mei‑li was having dinner with her boss, who spends most of her time in Spain but wanted to check in with Mei‑li about the department while she was back in China.

‘Home’ again afterward. Amber’s birthday is in a week, and we’ll be headed home a week after that.

Susan went promptly to bed. I did various things before calling it a night myself.
