Planning an early night to make up for my late night last night and terribly early wake this morning (for no reason). Thankfully the HK broadcasting powers are helping by not supplying anything to watch on tv anyway. I had a reasonably active weekend, Saturday Aleen (the only other person at work who I like - apart from PL) came over and I made yummy pasta and salad and we watched Pirates of the Carribean. We then went to the movies and watched the sequel. All good. Then I went on a pub crawl with scottish Mandy, which was great fun, but unfortunately I piked early (3am).
Woke up today, feeling OK but not great - bloody absinth. I then met a friend for a long brunch at a new cafe - good coffee, average food. I then wandered and did some chores and decided I would make Lamb Tagine for dinner - which involved visiting the wet markets & 3 supermarkets to get the ingredients. Now you should know that I could have got everything from the super expensive yuppy supermarket, but instead I visited a variety of outlets to get the best deal.
Oh and I wander down to the wet markets most weeks to the same street, and pass the same stores. Today I was looking closer at one of the stores i always pass, and it has the bbq'ed chickens and ducks hanging in the windows - as most do. Looking a little closer I noticed a big stack of cages in the back with hundreds of chickens stuffed in each cage. Very disturbing - easy to see how avian flu spread. And people, that is why I only buy my meat from supermarkets, that has been born in NOT China.
Work tomorrow, not so excited. I am doing online training again - the one I do every 2 wks. So boring.
Oh and another note, I've decided I have to get healthier. So eat better, more exercise etc. Given my birthday is coming up, I figure I will begin this after my birthday until I go to london. I'll let you know how I go.
