On the few days that the weather permitted, the boys have visited a large variety of parks.
They've even started playing together. Graham tries quite hard to be a playmate for Craig.
Craig's weekly soccer lessons have suffered several cancellations due to wet weather. The one time the weather allowed a lesson, Craig was very happy.
In some ways, he's starting to get into the swing of things. He can do some of the warm-up exercises quite well.
Craig has a lot of trouble concentrating when the coach Ian is explaining things but the lessons are heaps of fun. There's a large number of photos here that give a better indication of what goes on.
The boys both like slides which is a good thing because Taipei's parks are not blessed with a lot of space but they almost all have slides.
There was one Saturday evening when Craig started feeling sick during dinner. Hehad a bit of a fever so Craig's Mum lent him a vest to stay warm on the walk home.
With all the wet weather, playing silly games at home has been one way to pass the time.
But afternoons outdoors became more possible as the month wore on.
Craig and Graham have been to lots of places with Dad recently.
One Sunday afternoon, Craig went for a hike with Dad while Graham stayed at home to have a nap with Mum. The route Craig and his Dad took led them to a lookout above the Grand Hotel. Crag is pointing at a plane landing at Songshan Airport but it's a bit to the right of where his finger is aimed and it's very small.
The cloud cover was low, it was threatening to rain and the air pollution was pretty bad as well. Not a good combination when trying to look at the view.
On the way back they took a shortcut across the front of the hotel.
And, then stopped briefly for a snack before getting on Craig's Dad's scooter to go home.
When they arrived home, they were not surprised to find Graham on the sofa watching a DVD again.
