Wuhu Rain and more Rain

I put the picture from Nanjing of the Temple as it makes me feel good to see such beauty all around me as I discover China.
As we have just celebrated Spring festival I naively thought that meant the weather would get better IE warmer how wrong its now rained for 10 days and is forecast for a few more.
The downside is that I cant use the bike so have to resort to taxis again however spurred on by Luca I now have Chinese lessons 4 mornings Monday to Thursday I am making progress but its slow and I can now order food and get taxi home without using the address written down.
Small progress but nice to be able to do some basic things without feeling so useless.This time i am more determined to keep going with this and try to hold a basic conversation soon.
Anyway the rain is not good for getting around or walking so hope it stops soon cannot believe soon we will have hot weather right through till November, I found September to be warm enough so not sure what i will make of June July and August glad Ive lost some weight otherwise it may have been too hot.The main picture is me in November still in short sleeve shirt at the stadium in Wuhu don't think i would be doing that in the UK.
Anyway regardless of the weather it has been a good few weeks some more Westerners have shown up in Wuhu most working for Aston Language centre or attending the University to study Chinese a good bunch who all seem nice so a welcome addition to the numbers of foreigners in Wuhu.
