Night King

We went to the cinema to watch a Cantonese film, Night King.  It was a good experience.  It was nice to have Sarah joining me.  I think she was the only non-native-Cantonese speaker in the cinema.

Colour & Light York

We went to York to see the Colour & Light.  It was very cold...  Castle carpark is full of pot holes.  I am glad we went.

Meet Fresh

We finally checked out Meet Fresh in Leeds.  It is always nice to be reminded that when you paid for someone else to cook the same thing, they usually make it much richer.

We finally did it.  Mail order fish.  They turned up as expected, in good condition.  We shall do it again.

Quinoa Rice

I have been making mixed grain rice, namely black rice, red rice and quinoa.  It definitely tastes different, and I like the original rice taste.  In the name of health...  And as it turns out, quinoa comes out the other end.

New Glasses

I have ordered some new driving glasses.  These days, the glasses are full to prescription so it is only good for what they are for, distance.  Once upon a time, all my glasses were just "aiding", now it does fully correct it.  I have to take them off whenever I am not looking afar.

Weird Kit Kat

We broke into the flavoured Kit Kats.  They were too sweet for us.  Good to have tried it.

Winter Olympics Drone Noise

So many of the Winter Olympic videos got this annoying buzzing noise...  Very distracting.

We are still working through the Christmas stash of treats.  The chocolate panettone turns out to be quite nice.

Vegetarian Restaurant

We went to an old vegetarian restaurant.  It is everything you would expect, expensive and no meat.  I went to get a bacon sandwich to top up my lunch.

M&S Essential

I picked up some milk and basic bread from M&S, they seem to be fairly competitive in price.

McVities Moments

In the afternoon sugar dip, I would end up buying some random out of date biscuits from the market.  What is worst it that, they are not actually cheaper than the shop!  Sugar dip often affect judgement.

Miso Complete

I finally got to the bottom of my 1kg pack of miso!  A little left on the big bag of wake, I have to go find more miso.  Because of the fermented food fad, it is getting expensive, weird!

Superglued

Since I remember I have some open superglue, I superglued a couple of things, like the cracked mug handle, and a edge of the shoes.  I should have glued the mug handle long time ago!  How could I just remember to do it!

Freezer Defrosting

I don't remember having defrosted the freezer for 3 years.  It was a massive task, it took a long time, my hand were very cold.  Let's hope it stay frost free for a bit!
