Spotted and Hearted (Ducks of China)

A little girl walking her pet duck last week. The bit I didn't like was her nudging it with a stick....but aside from that very cute.

Lemongrass and Ginger Hot Toddy

Last night when I looked up this recipe the only thing I paid attention to was the word 'bowl' next to hot toddy - hence my choice of drinking vessel. Bowl!! Yes please! But then I had already had 2 cocktails, nothing much to eat that day, and as it turns out a raging fever. So while I was very excited by the idea of a bowl of cocktail, let's just say the motivation was in fact medicinal.

Get a big mug and put some brown sugar and hot water in it. Stir and add a big glug of really good whiskey (I would actually recommend using cheap whiskey but didn't have any and again this was a medical emergency)

Drizzle in some honey (and in a stroke of genius because I didn't have lemon), brew some lemongrass and ginger tea and add to the mug. 

Thursday afternoon sounds

I cried as I walked into my apartment because there is a carpet dryer out in the hallway and it smelt like wet dog. I have a cold and I feel like a baby elephant is sitting on my eye sockets. This song is likely to make things worse, but I don't care - sometimes you just gotta be sad.  (actually it didn't)
