More Groupon Pub Food

I took up the Groupon opportunity to revisit an old haunt.  The food meets the expectation of the Groupon price.  On the other hand, we have some resident expert mac and cheese maker.  I am doing my little bit to help the economy and help their kitchen turn over...

By-election Elsewhere

I am not sure why everyone cared about the by-election that is not where we are living in.  One of my friends is actually one of the candidates.  

Bus Fare Problem

Single bus fair is meant to be capped at £2.5.  Somehow one of the bus company's default bus fair is £3.  I had to ask for a £2.5 fair, and even so, sometimes I still get charged £3.  I just have to try to use alternatives.

Horlicks Tablets

Horlicks put out some tablet candy as Christmas stocking fillers.  I finally came across some of them.  They were pure sugar, pure evil!

Car Supermarkets

Car Supermarket is not really like a supermarket.  It could be like a supermarket, that it only has a small selection of items, and they are in varying condition...

First Time Rail Replacement Bus

I was lucky enough that I don't remember having to take rail replacement bus.  I willingly take the rail replacement bus, as it works out to be cheaper than actual bus rides!  And faster.

Mail Order Salmon

I had to bulk up the order for the fishes and ordered some salmon.  To make it not the same as something from the Supermarket, I got a salmon steak.  Let me keep the bone and I will save the filleting labour.

Mail Ordered Smokies

Mail order Smokies were okay.  We had two dinners, few days apart.  Hot off the barrel is of course the best.

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.

Outgoing Octopus Decrease

It has finally happened.  Octopus is cutting the output rate to 12p.  I have got to start using more of my own generation...

Betty's Brekfast

We managed to visit Betty's for some breakfast for the first time.  It was very nice indeed. 

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.

Mail Order Fish

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.

Lidl Free Bakery Item

I am making good progress on the Lidl freebies.  It is nice to get free snacks.

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.

February Panettone

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

Winter Olympics

I am watching the Winter Olympics and saw all the audience there, they look cold... 

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!

Frozen Ears

My hair began to bother me, so I went to the barber, just when the cold front come in.  My ears are cold!

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!
