Saturday
Went to a job fair in the morning,not really impressed.Very unlike the ones I've been to in Singapore,less than 15 stands - Army, Police, Navy, Makro, Morrisons, Councils, 2 Universities offering courses and even Herbalife!!
It was really unusual, for me at the very least, the job fairs I've been to had more than 50 stands from various companies as well as schools. The whole fair would normally occupy at least 2 mega halls and not just one small ballroom size place.
After the fair, went to Matthew's, a Chinese supermarket in town, quite delighted that they have a lot of things that I am familiar with, even Chinese Steamer and the wooden steamer. Prices are ok considering that they are imported stuff.Also had some Dimsum at the Manchurian's, very disappointed. Siewmais were too dry and too much flour added, deep fried prawn dumplings were too dry and hard,even the salt and pepper squid was strange,egg battered and deep fried,not the ones I was used to. Hubby had roast pork with noodles, the noodles were too dry and hard. Will not go back after this.
The restaurant was hiring so I spoke to the boss out of curiosity. 6 days a week, off on Wednesdays only, working hours from 10am to 10pm on weekdays and 10am to 11pm on weekends. As I have no experience, they are offering less than 1000pounds monthly! That's absurd, one practically shackled herself to the restaurant and the other question is,how to get home at night?
Went for a walk after the meal, it was really windy,imagine dustbins flying all over the street, I had one my hoodie jacket,a t-shirt underneath and a pair of jeans, thick socks and my puma trainers. It was cold and extremely difficult to walk, when we got to the car, we struggled to get in but the door closed on my leg before I was able to get in, ouch, ouch, ouch!Drove home safely but the wind was bad, nearly pushing us off the road, quite scary.
Had Chinese Tea and the mooncake that Elaine sent with the in-laws, tried 4 different kinds of Chinese Tea and they liked 2 of the varieties. Quite an enjoyable session and would like to do it again soon.
After that, hubby and I went to town to chillout. Nothing interesting at Drummonds and Tunnels, went to Moorings, tons of people, music that was extremely noisy, lyrics that sounded like screeching, people shaking their head and body to the music, the extreme ones - flinging their hair about as though they were in a shampoo commercial, hope they did wash their hair before they came.

Sunday
Cooked bacon,eggs and mushrooms for hubby for breakfast, not to forget 2 slices of toast(butter and marmite) and a mug of Earl Grey Tea of course.
Went to the Cowie for a walk to check the damages the wind had done to the trees. Drove to Stonehaven Beach, parked and ate Fish and Chips while enjoying the afternoon sun. The sun was out so the ice-cream parlour was really busy, people at the beach walking their dogs, with their family for a leisurely stroll, there were wind surfs in the sea of course and a lone man board surfing at the beach.
Made a trip to Somerfields, bought lamb chops and pork escalopes, lucozade, bread, Earl Grey Tea, Eggs, crisps, chocolates for hubby and dad, biscuits for mum, etc etc. Eggs here are pretty expansive, my in-laws are used to having the free-range eggs(the chickens are not confined to cages, get to roam freely,that is very good,the chickens get to exercise at least and their diets are much better than Asia) ,cheapest eggs that I can find are 1.18pounds for half a dozen.!
After we reached home and put away the stuff, proceeded to pick brambles off the bushes along the road, hubby and I had a competition to see who got the most brambles. Needless to say, I got the most!!! Bramble are part of the berry families and they bear fruits near Autumn, around this time.
Therefore, we had mum's turkey as a main course and brambles with ice-cream for dinner.

Monday
Went for a short workshop on book keeping in the morning, turned the lamb chops which I marinated with lemon and fresh mint the night before, went online to do some research on online business, thinking of starting a wool,handicraft and even Asian spices,sauces,cookies trading 'shop'.
For dinner, I prepared pan-fried lamb chops, whipped potatoes with onions, some peas and for dessert, bramble crambles, yum yum!! Hubby love the lamb chops and the dessert, but I find that the lamb chops were not as tender as the ones I got from Asdas previously.
Tomorrow, there's no plan yet but hubby said that he would like to have Bacon and eggs for breakfast, looks like I won't get to laze in bed again:(
