I told Fuzzyslowmo about following the mechanical chicken and taking a photo of the turtle in World of Warcraft. She reckons it's pretty funny, and I think it's hilarious, too. She's having a holiday at home, enjoying the summer and writing her report (mostly holiday).
It's the first full moon on lunar calendar, Shang Yuan festival today. Dad and mum were looking at the moon last night and said that it looks as good as the moon in Midautumn Festival! That's also called the Moon Festival. It's a bit weird to have glutinous rice balls now because it's not cold like when we were in the Northern Hemisphere, but I do miss the taste of a good glutinous rice ball. There are seasame, peanut, and red bean flavoured rice balls to choose from, and you can even make savour ones. Some people have rice ball soup that has vegetables, meat, and salt, it's a bit strange for me. I prefer the sweet ones. There are also pink and white ones if you like different colour rice balls. You can also cook the rice balls in water, then put them in peanut powder as dry rice balls. Yum.
Steve is having his holiday in Brisband now. Have fun! By the way, the Minister of Agriculture is visiting next week and he's coming in a helicopter. We have to be careful not to go into the helicopter landing zone in front of the Tower Block. It's funny how he is going to arrive in a flash helicopter when farmers are struggling for the draught in Waikato. Is it going to be good publicity, or is it because he can see how the draught is affecting Waikato better in the helicopter? I hope the later is true, but I think he's just having fun riding in the helicopter! After all, we as the taxpayers have to pay for his helicopter ride. Hope you will have fun, Minister, whether he does something useful or not is a whole entirely different matter.
