The Year of the Dragon

It's the start of the year of a Dragon, the most powerful lunar sign of the chinese calendar,
Signifying wisdom and intelligence.

I was woken up early from my warm little nest to join the new year celebrations in chilly outside temperatures.  Mum, Dad wanted to me to join them to see the festivities of our neighbourhood.  Arriving early meant avoiding the traffic. Living close by meant avoiding the crowds to secure "front row tickets".

Chinese Medication

On the 7th day of the New Year, I am taken to see a Chinese Doctor to treat a rumbly tummy.
Mummy says she no longer believes in Western Medication, and so introduced me to the more old fashioned yet hostilic approach.

I was made to drink the contents of the pictured concoction; viewed something very similar to drain water, i can honestly say it was the worst taste I can ever had imagined.  Nothing like a lovely biscuit afterwards though!
