Another cool start to the day. The heating had actually flicked on for the first time. It soon brightened up and warmed up though and by the tie the Gorse Fox went out to football it was quite pleasant.
Football was 5-a-side today. With the personnel available there was no way we would achieve two balanced teams. Unfortunately the Gorse Fox was on the side with only two mobile players. This meant it was going to be hard... and so it proved. In the end we managed to hold the yellow-bibs to a 5-3 win. In the circumstances that was a satisfactory achievement.
Back home much of the afternoon has been spent in the kitchen. A recipe suggested it would take two hours. What it forget to say was it takes at least another hour of preparation. The Gorse Fox hope is turns out better than the stir-fry recipe he tried yesterday. The beck was deliciously tender, but overall the dish was much too salty. The Gorse Fox should have been more suspicious when he saw the quantities of soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and Chinese Five Spice that were recommended.
