I have not seen Mr C get so excited before as I was handing him the torch! He is like a school boy in a sweet shop! He couldn’t wait to test out the VARTA indestructible torch the moment it landed in his hands! He swiftly put in two AA batteries (included) and turned it on. The 1 watt LED light is very strong and bright. He was very impressed with the robust, nice looking torch. The on/off button can that found on the end of the torch and is easy to press. The head and rear cover of the Indestructible range is made of a resilient rubber to absorb the strongest shocks, while a high-grade aircraft aluminium-titanium alloy gives an extra-tough housing which is also resistant to sprayed water. It is robust enough to withstand a drop of up to nine metres – the height of a three storey building or two double decker buses.
Greener Cleaner products
If you have been following my series of Chinese New Year blog posts, you may have seen that I mentioned Spring cleaning. We have to clean the house before the New Year to wash away the bad luck and welcome good fortune into our home. There is one traditional that I still believe in which is we are not suppose to sweep/mop/clean the floor during Chinese New Year day as it will sweep away all the good fortune. So if you happen to drop/smash something, remember to say 歲歲平安 (Suì suì píng ān) immediately, which means “everlasting peace year after year”.
Lets Gone Crabbing at the Seaside
I am excited to work with Gone Crabbing as their range of gifts are very unique and cute too. It is rare to find high-end holiday souvenir shops. The usual souvenir shops tend to have the same stuff, like rock, key rings, postcards, cheap t-shirts etc. Gone Crabbing is totally different! Their clothing design is funky, bright colourful and very unique. They also have crisp cotton tea towels & oven mitts, mugs & coasters, pencils, erasers, badges, fridge magnets and a fun range of cards.
I love Colin the Crab. He is such an adorable orange crab. This is both Mr K and Ms C wearing the red hoodie top – You’re gonna need a bigger bucket!
Air con coming to the rescue!
We have had the most gorgeous weather since last week. It has been so hot that our curtains have not been drawn in an attempt to keep the rooms a bit cooler for the children to sleep. We are pretty well equipped though with three pedestal fans and one air conditioner! Yes, my silly husband bought it a few years ago as an impulse buy. Most of the time, this large, bulky machine sits behind a door in the corner of the room gathering dust. However, this week, the air con has been used extensively!
Walkers Crisp
When I first came to England in 2002, my English ex-colleague introduced me to Walkers crisp and I never looked back. It is one of the best crisps I had since I was young. It’s a scrumptiously thin crispy crisp. It makes my mouth water whenever I see someone eating it. Every crisp is always so well-seasoned and tasty.
