From my colleague, Martyn, comes an interesting email about his schedule :-
"
Just in case you attempt to reach me in the office after 16:45 BST (08:45 PDT) during the next two weeks or so, I shall be leaving the office early during this period to attend to important family matters whilst my wife is away, i.e. collecting my son from child-care and then engaging in the
usual tea-time feeding frenzy
...
I shall still be available by cell phone for urgent matters, but might be a little distracted as I pick Alessandro's food out of my hair and
do the 'choo-choo train' routine
to
deliver food safely in to his capacious but unwilling gullet
...
"
What I find interesting is his description of what he's going to do during the usual tea-time feeding frency, 'choo-choo train' and his son's capacious but unwilling gullet.

走在乡间的小路上, 暮归的老牛是我同伴, 蓝天配朵夕阳在胸膛, 缤纷的云彩是晚霞的衣裳。 荷把锄头在肩上, 牧童的歌声在荡漾, 喔呜喔呜喔呜他们唱, 还有一支短笛也在吹响。 笑意写在脸上,哼一曲乡居小唱, 任思绪在晚风中飞扬, 多少落寞愁忏,都随晚风飘散, 遗忘在乡间的小路上。 走在乡间的小路上, 暮归的老牛是我同伴...

年少时候谁没有梦 无意之中你将心愿透露 就在你生日的时候我将小小口琴送 最难忘记你的笑容 友情的细水慢慢流流进了你我的心中 曾在球场边为你欢呼你跌伤我背负 夜里流星飞渡想象着他日的路途 晚风听着我们壮志无数 年少时候谁没有愁 满腔愤慨唯有你能听得懂 每当我失意的时候你将那首歌吹奏 琴声悠悠解我情愁 岁月的细水慢慢流流到了别离的时候...
