The What Now

I think "the" is even more useless than an Oxford comma... It adds to the word count, I guess.

Oxford Comma

I just explained to someone what an Oxford comma is and why they are important, in law.

Hand Me Down TV

I was not keen on a potential faulty TV.  On closer inspection, apart from two dead lines, I am not sure there was any fault to it, so I adopted it! It is a 40" TV, biggest I have had!

Microwave Dimsum

I had a lot of microwaved dimsum growing up.  We took it for granted that they are always there at the 7-Elevens.  I microwaved some frozen dimsum.  They were not designed to be microwaves, so they did not turn out particularly well.  We need to appreciate the food scientists more.

Hokke Mackerel

We had a grilled fish lunch at a Japanese restaurant.  It was very nice.  It was called Atka Mackerel, so I asked the boss a naive question, is that British?  Then I was swiftly told that fish came all the way from Japan, they definitely were not the typical British mackerel.  We looked it up, it is also known as Hokke. Shame that we would not have access to a kitchen, we would have to rely on people cooking it for us!

Head Bulb

It is the time of the year when we start to notice our head lamp has failed.  I changed one bulb, the bulb looked fine, surely that is the fuse...

I checked all the fuse, they were all right.  Let see the busted bulb again.  I changed the wrong bulb at the first instance...  Measure twice, cut once, must remember.

Frost Bitten Tomatoes

The tomatoes have been harvested and they area clearly not happy.  I suspect the discoluoration is actually slight frost bite.  I will keep a mental note for next year.
