Gochugaru Girl attended a very interesting lecture on the Ming Dynasty recently.
Uniquely, the lecture was not about vases but about food.
My London
Rainy Days and Mondays
Gochugaru Girl woke up this morning to a very grey and very wet day in London.
The book I am currently reading is called ‘when the bottom drops out’*. It might be better called ‘when the roof caves in’ as there is a leak in our roof and water damage to the ceilings.
A Bit of a Fishy Story
Gochugaru Girl had a slightly heated discussion with Junior One recently.
The subject was: is it worth going to a restaurant which only serves tinned food?
Healthy & Fresh Korean Kitchen – The Bibigo Cookbook
Gochugaru Girl loves Bibigo London. She loves it so much she even went to look for Bibigo in Seoul on her recent trip there. Now she has discovered their cookbook*.
It wasn’t exactly an auspicious start as I really did not want to try Korean food.
221b Baker Street
Gochugaru Girl’s first introduction to the world of Sherlock Holmes was via The Hound of the Baskervilles. Mr Gochugaru’s family lives in Devon, so they often visit Dartmoor for walks which happily are always uneventful.
Closer to home, and though I passed by it every week, I had no inclination to visit the Sherlock Holmes Museum at 221b Baker Street. It was always a mystery to me why the queue was perpetually long.
Get out of Jail Free
Gochugaru Girl has a glass jar filled with samples from renowned beauty brands. Each time she passes a stand in a department stall offering a free sample, she pops it into her handbag and retrieves it for a one application use at a later date.
This afternoon, after exchanging my deceased Alessi kettle for a new one, I had to walk along Brook and South Molton Streets in order catch my train at Bond Street tube station. You need an iron will to walk ahead towards your goal. Like Monopoly, if you pick the wrong Chance card, the consequences are severe: ‘Go to Jail – Move directly to Jail – Do not pass “Go” – Do not collect £200’.
In this case, the jail is a financial jail.
