They aren’t really twins
But they look alike enough for me to lump them together.

Similarities
Cool Buddy Holly-type glasses (although they might not agree).

Differences
Haircut, massive sideburns, one chain-smokes, the other doesn’t appear to smoke at all.

What this proves
Men with glasses are hot.

There’s nothing that I dislike more than a tomato-based sauce. I like tomatoes, but there’s something yucky about it in a sauce on pasta. I much prefer a white sauce, whether it’s cream- or cheese-based. Or olive oil.

Today I am eating a tomato and roasted vegetable pasta salad (don’t get me started on how much I detest capsicum and it’s normally the roasted vegetable nine times out of ten) because Neil is sick of this option and is going to enjoy the cheesey pasta salad that makes up the other half of our el-cheapo pasta salad box from Asda.

You may tune up your violins now.

• moved a lot of clothing over to the other house (wow, we’ve got a lot of clothes)
• moved our mattress over to the other house, meaning we have, well, moved (‘about fucking time’ doesn’t adequately express the relief)
• did some unpacking
• bought a real wok (i.e. with a round bottom) from Chung Ying (as well as bee hoon and tang hoon!)
• invited Brian, Carene, and Brian’s sister Kirstie over a for a few drinks
• did the weekly shop (and not-so-weekly one-off buys for the house)
• had an over-salted Chinese takeaway for dinner
• suffered the boiler turning itself off while I was trying to shower (Singaporean + winter + freezing cold water = extreme shivers)
