Can’t be there tomorrow

Serve me right
Burning candles at both ends
No more wax
No more voice
Running nose
And sore throat

Can’t sell Fair Trade tomorrow
Can’t deliver mask to Wicky’s Mum
Ji-Ye will miss his dried papaya
And more will be looking for us in vain
Tomorrow
At Tai Po Farmers’ Market stand :(

    This is working, at looooooong last !!
    Winter worm summer grass is good but should be taken only after one is fully recovered, or so I heard.

    Thanks, dear M.
    Like the picture too. Can see 1/2 a Sammy on the floor.

    Thanks, dear W.

    The throat sore is no longer piercing,
    But my voice has not yet returned.
    Never knew how important it was:
    Thought my laptop was all I’d need.

    Aha: winter worm & summer grass
    Is only good for healthy folks?
    No wonder I was feeling funny:
    So, ‘too strong a tonic’ is no joke.

    福 indeed, for others around, ha ha!
    No voice, no noise.
    They had two peaceful days.
    休息 is a rare luxury
    I never hesitate to grab.
    Yes, I am more than luxurying.

    BJ & Eva cooked for us last night:
    Fried ‘red clothes fish’, cabbage with ’shrimp rice’,
    Steamed ‘meat cake’ with mushroom,
    And soup with ‘hairy cucumber’ and bones (for S & D),
    Plus plus plus yummy watermelon as desert!
    Plenty of 福 for all indeed! :)

    Thanks, SP.

    ‘Desert’ for ‘dessert’
    Oh dear oh dear …
    What a muddled up head!
