It’s finally stopped raining here, after 3 days. This is supposed to be the dry season. Bloody cold too, just 7c which, for HK, is perishing.

I read an article the other day about that perennial bone of contention: red sauce or brown sauce. In a bacon sandwich interface, I answer mustard. Intriguingly, the author of a recent book, Red Sauce, Brown Sauce, suggests English mustard and marmalade. So I went out and bought some marmalade. I'm going to try this combination for bruncheon.

My word, isn't there enough danger in life?

I had a Great Aunt Gail, loved boiled cabbage. Gail by name, Gale by nature

"Gale force" by nature

I think the combination was suggested by honey and mustard glazed ham so it's not really all that radical. Not that it would ever have occurred to me. Anyhow, I overdid the marmalade and it killed the flavour of the bacon. I'll have to work on the ratios.

Also, someone answered my phone call after 1 hour 29 minutes so that's another thing sorted.

I expect this is familiar to a lot of people here but it's new to me:

There are times I miss the UK.

Come on Eunice, enough is enough!

I'm going to get someone in to repair the fence. I've had enough of fixing it up every time there are strong winds. A proper job is needed.

A chap I worked with a few years ago gave up being a transport manager to become a chimney sweep.
I still see him around every now and then..

Some actual work to do this morning even though the Port is closed. More important was that I stopped at Lidl on the way back & got a top up for the office biscuit tin. Only an hour to go. I just hope the line of showers passes before 2pm.

My Dad used to sweep our chimneys when I was a lad, my job was to go up the end of the garden and tell him when the brush came out the top.

Mild and very blustery here chez Casa Reynard. At least it's stopped raining sideways.

I am having a plumpitty day after a very rough night with lady issues. Am currently self-medicating with paracetamol, chocolate and cat cuddles. Feel bloody godawful.

I like sweet chilli sauce on bacon sandwiches.
