Sing Kee Leeds II

We have recently visited Sing Kee again, they are getting bigger and bigger, now there is a massive warehouse and a "mall".  Good for them.

Real Charcoal

Much to my dislike, I have been using the charcoal briquettes, aka sawdust charcoal, it is so energy dense, I almost always left with excess heat to use.  As I am using those down, I am back to real charcoal, and they do not last as long, may be it is a good thing?

Precordial Thump

Vicky told me about the punch in the chest.  Then the bloke from YAS said that was outdated, whilst showing us a Chris Solomons video clearly showing the YAA crew clearly punching him on the chest at 2:33.

On a more recent first aid training, we were shown this video again, and I could not help myself to tell the trainer this story.  Then he blurted out, "precordial thump".  Wow, punch in the chest has a name!  Vindicated!

Harley Harressment

We were talking about bikes, and someone insisted that a Harley would suit me and keep showing me images of Harley.  That is a total harressment!

Blocked U-bend

When I lived in the city centre flat, I found a big lumps of previous tenants' hair in the shower trap.  I have regularly used soda to clear the drain, but this time it backed up so much that I had to strip it.  There was a water colour paint brush!  So all the years of soda, casutic, wasn't quite enough to melt away a paint brush!

I think we should always assume the drains are blocked unless we have stripped them ourselves.

Betty's Sourdough

We usually go to Bettys in the afternoon, so we never saw any bread.  Since we went early this time, we want to get some bread, sourdough.  Bettys Sourdough is 5p cheaper than Balterzen!  It looks refined and tastes nice.  We are more used to rustic sourdough, so we found the eveness weird!  Good bread, we will try other loaves next times.

Cruffins

We had our first and last cruffin from Balthazar.  Too sugary and I'd opt for a croissant anytime.
