I spent the afternoon vacuuming around the house as it’s Chinese New Year tomorrow and you’re supposed to do a spring clean around the house to get rid of any bad luck that may have accumulated in the year. Also you shouldn’t clean for the first few days of the New Year, if you do any sweeping you’ll risk sweeping away your good luck! Good excuse for me!
Apart from a bit of vacuuming we spent the weekend watching two movies, we call this our couch date. On Saturday we watched Shaolin Soccer which was a typical Stephen Chow comedy, I think you have to get Chinese humour to enjoy this one, or if you liked Kung Fu Hustle. The second film we watch was Rise of the Planet of the Apes which also was enjoyable, I really like James Franco though I didn’t recognise him to start with, he’s not as skinny as he used to be!
Weekend cooking: Sat- Bacon & maple syrup pancakes, tuna melt panini, chilli con carne with scotch bonnet (though it was not very fiery). Sun- Bacon & maple syrup pancakes, left over chili con carne, beef stew and roast potatoes.
Slow cooked beef stew.
Ziggy wanting to watch film too.
Bf made this for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. 
Aw ziggy! my cat does this too – just sit in the middle and get in the way of my view! Happy chinese new year to you! xxx
Happy CNY to you too! Your cat is sooo cute and cuddly!
I love not having to clean over these first few days! Do you do the hair one too? I think it’s not that common to do anymore but you’re not meant to wash your hair on the first day of new year. It used to be the first 2 in my house but as we grew older, we complained and said that we felt unclean haha. Anyway, loving the food- those pancakes look awesome!
No we don’t do the hair one! Haha! The Chinese have a lot of superstition don’t they!!
