First time wearing scarf. Weather getting colder.
十月十八日：天气又不错，下午爬上“卡尔顿”山。有梯级和路，比上次爬的“亚瑟”山容易多了。
之后，我们到一间购物中心里，那儿有一间玩具店，里面摆放了一些可让小孩玩的玩具。我们就让靖恒在那儿玩了一会儿玩具。家里的玩具怎么可能跟他们比呢？连我都喜欢那里的玩具。
We went to Calton Hill. The sun's not always showing; sometimes hiding behind the clouds. But it was a nice walk nevertheless. We went to St James' Shopping Centre afterwards, to the toy store 'Early Learning Centre', and he had some fun running around the shop, playing with the toys that are lying around for that purpose. That was the last day trip out - till now...
十月二十一日，建明开始出水痘。礼拜一他去看医生。医生不肯定那是水痘，所以只叫他回家观察。建明因此，还怀疑自己是不是出疱疹，发愁了一整天。第二天，又出现很多，这次他指明要一个男医生，医生确定地说那是水痘，还给他药吃。当然，药还是太迟吃了 - 他的水逗挺严重的，发炎，发高烧，泻肚子，胃口不好。。。几乎一个礼拜后才渐渐恢复过来。看建明这样子，真担心靖恒也会有同样的经历。等呀等，终于，十一月一日傍晚，跟他冲凉时发现到两粒奇怪的“豆豆”。接着的星期六，就出现很多了，直到现在。由于不能控制他扒痒，我们也不知道那些被他抓的水逗会怎么样痊愈，只有“等着瞧”了。除了十一月一日凌晨，他发烧了几小时之外，其他时候也没什么。他会指着身上的一粒粒“豆豆”，说：“chicken pox"。我们告诉他因为他出水痘，不能出门，他也没有太坚持要出去，就留在家里玩很极限的那几样玩具。他还会学建明说：“睡觉就不痒了。”
Chicken pox! Jianming caught it, had a serious bout, and two weeks later, Ethan is still going through it, albeit a milder one. Our main problem is unable to stop him from scratching, and he appears to be feel very itchy from day one. Apart from that, he behaves quite as normal, active, rowdy, and always asking you to play with him.
十月三十日，带他到一辆两层的巴士里头。巴士已被装修成一个有玩具玩，有空间的地方。每个拜二停在同样的地方，直到十二月十一日。小孩可以在里面玩泥土，涂鸦，二楼可以玩玩具，翻书本。还有下午茶，讲故事等。一连七个礼拜，不知道久了会不会觉得闷，但是现在靖恒在家‘休息’，所以只好等他好了再带他去。
这是他的上次去那里的“杰作”：
There is this Oct2Bus thing, a small double-decker converted to a play area. Downstairs are the soils, paint, and glue - all the messy stuff. Upstairs is quite a comfy place, with ball pool, books, toys and a couch. They also provide some snacks for the kids and a nursery rhymes and story session at the last half an hour (while the other carers clean up, I suppose). It's every Tuesday, till 11 Dec. We went to the first Tuesday on 30 Oct and it was quite fun. Small group because there is only so much space in the bus, and the carers interact with your kids and chit chat with you. But we will have to give one or two of the sessions a miss while he erm... 'recuperates' at home, from the chicken pox. That's just an euphemism, I suppose. He's at home because he doesn't look too good now, and - we are not sure - maybe chicken pox is not such a taboo here as it is in Singapore, but quarantine is the word still, I think.
