Autumn breeze

It had been quite a big change of temperature during the last 3 weeks. The two weeks of rain around ANZAC day, had really brings the reality of the coming if winter. Looking at the weather report, Canberra had minimum temperatures of 1-2 degC almost daily!

Over here in sydney, we are blessed with more mild winter, though 10 degC at night can mean needing three layers of blankets at night. Glad that I now have a personal heat pack in bed, which I can hug for warmth or push away if too hot. Hahaha.

The house we are staying at the moment has no heating at the moment. So it is very difficult for us to get out of the bed at night or in the morning in the cold weather. Having floor boards instead of concrete slabs made things worse as cold air can just seep through the gaps between the floor boards, through the carpets, and into the room space. The heat from the afternoon sun were quickly dissipated as well from the plasterboard walls in the rooms. That's why people need better insulated materials to build houses!

We made little progress in the business side of things as most suppliers are still in their Easter break! >_<

A photo to end my post, this is the Dong Po meat I made last week. Fatty pork belly, cooked thrice to perfection. It uses boiling, pressure cooking and steaming. I even have broccoli to serve and decorate it nicely for dinner. Haha. That's a first! 

Have a good rest of the week!
