A Bluestocking Knits

Yesterday was Father’s Day, so after the girls woke David up rather earlier than he was hoping, we went here —

the Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence.  He’d been here on a previous trip, and thought the girls would enjoy the tunnels in the old fort and the views of the harbor. 

Julia discovered the echo capabilities of the tunnels early on — the exhibits were a bit much for the under-fives, but upstairs was a drawing area with tables and crayons and chops for stamping on their finished artwork, and the girls did have a good time running around outside, even though it was pretty hot. 

On the way back, I got a little bonus when we stopped off here —

GB Woollens at the Cityplaza mall in Taikoo Shing (!).  They were having a sale (!!), so I picked these up for HK$59 apiece (about US$7.59, retailing at home for $8.95) —

RYC Cashcotton 4-Ply in shade 903 Seafoam, a subtle tweedy tealy-greeny shade.  Maybe it will be enough for the Interlocking Balloons scarf….
