This is the first mid-autumn festival in London, I hang the lanterns on the window and cooked chickens and soup to celebrate. The chickens were delicious but the rice wasn't cooked thoroughly and the soup was too starchy because of the big "Suet Yee". Somebody kept nagging me,  anyway, the other day, the fried rice was perfect!

When I find myself  lost in this country, I remind myself that I come here to

1.travel in Europe (in a cheaper way),

2.accompany my husband, enjoy our new marriage life,

3.learn English and immerse into the English culture,

4.do something I want when I'm still "young" and without burden,

5.it's a precious chance and it would be an unforgettable experience, how can I give it up?

We were invited to the Festival of the West, actually the host is my husband's ex-colleague, he is an Australian and an expert in wine. We bought a wine book which was recommended by him. We are still beginners in wine-drinking and try one almost every night. Before being experts, we will soon become alcoholics.

Last Friday, I went to the Bistish Museum. This is the first time I took the tube alone. I got off at Tottenham Court Road station and walked around to wait for my husband. We had sandwiches outside the museum and spent about an hour there on the first floor. I remember years ago, when I first visited the museum, it's so crowded and there were many things to see. Most people rushed to see the mummies, they are really horrible. Imagine those dry dead bodies lying in the glass box...I didn't have time to visit them this time because we then had drinks with his colleagues., maybe next time and I'll show you the pictures.

 

Although my honey's blood test told him not to eat so much fat, he is a carnivore, he loves meat very much. I baked this fat Char Siu for him and cut all the fat out of the steaky pork. Healthier and very delicious!

It is sunny today, after walking to the station with my honey, I went to the park nearby. I sat on a bench and read newspaper, it's quiet and peaceful but cold too. I could see smoke out of my mouth. The squirrels are lovely and quick, I could hardly take a close-up of them.

We spent the whole weekend desiging our room and we visited IKEA twice. It's a whole new experience to shop there. We had to pick things up ourselves in a huge storeroom and assemble them ourselves according to only 3 pictures in the menu, it's easier than imagined though. By the way, cheap and tasty hotdog at IKEA is worth trying!

I see a rainbow! It's really good to come home early...
