We had an unexpected invitation to the dear friends' parents' home for a mee siam lunch on the first day. OH YES PLEASE. How gorgeous. This was a visit that we welcomed very much, and it was no chore to pop over with mandarin oranges and little gifts.
When the friends' parents were all getting on in the years, and cooking is no longer viable for many, it's a precious thing to taste their food. These are the flavors we'll never be able to recreate, and we'll deeply miss it. While we can, we appreciate the food loads, and give thanks to God's grace.
This year, the first few days of Lunar New Year saw such low temps. I didn't even perspire much. The rains are back. Day 1 was some sort of mad rain from the morning til the night. At our area, it began at 5.30am, took a break, and returned in earnest at 10am, lasting all the way till 10pm. Luckily it wasn't a monsoon surge, and the flooding all over was controlled. We had an okay drive to lunch and back. The floofs also found pee breaks in between the rains. They've got no issues with going out in a drizzle.
At lunch, it was nice to see Fawkes too. She's a silly girl, and had fun sniffing all of us. I didn't realize how much she likes toys. I gave her a toy at Christmas and it's become her chou-chou. Hehehe. So I brought her a whole 'seafood platter' this time. She liked the selections — plush and with ropes. Wheeeeee. She was spoilt for choice!
