Skiing Workout

I am absolutely shattered after skiing.  According to their website, there are skiing burns a lot of calories, but I am not convinced.  On the other hand, my back, arms, shoulders were aching from the skiing for sure.  I will build in a lot of rest time next time I ski.

Summer Skiing

Since the ride out has been cancelled, I looked around when I can do on a rainy day.  Snozone is doing a summer discount, as they always do, so I signed up for a 4 hours pass for £19.90!

The first three runs were warm up, and it wasn't bad afterwards.  I did not land on my bum, I did not stop the lift.  Actually compare with the others on the slope, I am not too bad.  I even started using the little ramp!

My legs are tired!  I will keep my eyes out for the summer deals with Snozone!

Lidl BBQ Offerings

I got a few things form Lidl for my BBQ.  We liked the living lettuce, but the crisps and sausages were not very exciting...

Three Kingdoms Period Drama

I just watched a new series of the period drama centering around the late Wei period.  Plenty of historic inaccuracy, but most of period drama is open to artistic interpretation anyway.  I am even tempted to sign up to Hmvod "free trial" just to watch all of it, but I stopped myself.  HMV is competing in the streaming platform, why aren't they doing the same in this market?

Aloe Adoption

As soon as I posted them on Freegle, there were lots of enquiries.  Let see if I can get rid of the glut!

Yushoi Pea Crisps

Yushoi pea crisps popped up in different supermarket shelves, I finally got a chance to try them.  When I got them, I looked at the packet, it is by Calbee, an old friend of a Hong Kong's childhood.

They taste good, if it is the same price and "healthier", then I would keep having them.

New AA Rice Cooker

I asked for a new AA rice cooker to be brought from Hong Kong.  I retired the old broken AA rice cooker.


I finally made the inaugural dinner.  It definitely worth the hassle.



Now I need to think if I should keep the cheap imitation for pasta or other microwave cooking purposes.
