Another great meal and just chilling outside with friends

This evening we were invited to a meal by one of Tan's friends' husbands. It turned out to be even more luxurious than I am accustomed to, and the food was great: duck soup, fried prawns, boiled prawns, duck, chicken, fried bees (my favourite), tiger salad (another of my favourites - really it's coriander, onion and pig's stomach), duck casserole (I think they specialise in duck), and sweet bread. Plus lots of really weak beer.

For the first two days of this week it seemed as though the weather might have been starting to cool, with an almost perceivable breeze in the evenings that was as welcome as a shot of vodka after an evening of 3.1% beer. However, since Tuesday we have had probably the warmest days (as in 24 hours) since we've arrived. From what I hear about UK I am not complaining in the least. I love the warm weather. What I don't understand is why the locals moan about it so much. Anyway, it has affected my appetite, and Leilei's it seems. I often don't eat till 3-5pm. Today I did have a midnight snack at around 3am, which lasted me until tonight's feast.
