"Wow, that's the first meal I've had since getting here that hasn't made me feel like I'm about to explode!"
It's Chinese New Year and my sister is in town. I'm on holiday and in between my own extensive programme of sleeping in, watching Futurama in bed and inhaling the contents of the fridge every hour, I've been taking part in the wider family's gruelling regime of eating out, eating in and resting between meals. We've also:- been on the Tate to Tate boat - ha! soon EVERYONE I know will have been on this boat and then my plan to rule the world through alternative modes of transport and modern art will be complete!
- we've also been through Chinatow
- a sushi bar
- the Paddington Basin development, making failed attempts to make the Heatherwick Bridge move
- bought shoes in an insane super-sale that turned into a sort of shoe-worshipping commune with the overwrought staff setting up their own specialist, anarchic shoe locating and payment receiving system
- accidentally eaten apple crumble and custard in a cafe where we were just going to stop for a coffee
- done the whole rice porridge and turnip croquettes thing
Hope you're all well and happy new year! Cock-a-doodle-do!

Happy New Year, Hyp! I think you'll need another week off just to recover from all the eating.
Kung Hei Fat Choi! I'll pass on the turnip croquettes...
In no time at all, you'll be dishing out red pockets of your own...
