Manual Splitting

I only just remember that the app takes a cut on a split ticket.  When it is my own money, maybe I should have manually split it to save on their commission...

Spirit of Christmas Markets

I think I finally understand the spirit of Christmas Markets: day time drinking...

Missing Baby Jesus Figurines

I mentioned about the missing baby jesus figurine, and someone implied that Jesus wasn't stolen, just not been born yet... If that is the case, all Nativity play will not have a Jesus either...

Knife Sharpening

I have been meaning to sharpen my knives.  There are only so many times you can hone it.  Luckily a new guy at the Repair Cafe has offered sharpening service, and everyone brought their gear in.  They are now much better. 

Swimming Gala

I was going to do a bit of swimming, but the local swimming gala meant I went home dry. I cannot possibly ring up every time before I go... Such inconvenience in life.

Seven Necesssities

I am surprised to learn water isn't on the list.  But I suppose if you don't have water, you cannot make tea. 

eSIM Experiment

Part of the preparation, I am sorting out some eSIMs.  It is a learning experience.  Luckily my tuition hasn't been too expensive...

Wendy's

I took the opportunity to try to Wendy's in England.  It is very boring, it was nothing to write home about. I won't bother again.

Shoes Shopping Spree

When you see something you like, you snap it.  As it happens, I bought three pairs of shoes in two weeks. I think I can finally permanently retire the old shoes.

Hot Chocolate

Hot chocolate shopping is not as simple one may think.  As it turns out, almost all the hot chocolate is made with milk.  Especially the posh expensive stuff.

You have to get the "instant" stuff that has milk powder if you don't want to mess with milk.  

Free Food Samples

We were surprised by the number of free samples available on our weekend trip.  There were some new, weird food products.  I am not sure about the savoury stuffed mochi.
