Kuala Lampur, Feb. 11 -- Next week is my final immunotherapy treatment.

Annoyingly as I write this I am ill; nothing serious, just my sinuses and immune system colluding in making me miserable.

The sensation of feeling like I am drowning in snot is unpleasant.

Yet there is still so much left to do - a kitchen that needs reorganising, racks that need assembling (once a broken part replacement arrives), a backyard that needs tending, a guitar that needs refurbishing and restringing - and my to-do list grows ever longer.

Lunar New Year is also around the corner; I tend to spring clean three times at the beginning of the year, once at New Year, before Li Chun (the coming of Spring) and before Lunar New Year.

Then for the rest of the year...
