Sorry if you come and find us closed today, Monday February 15. I wish all of you a wonderful day. We had a really good weekend. No long lines or long waits but lots of happy customers.
Its reassuring too because I made the mistake of Googling myself Saturday. I used to do that in the early Monarch days and was amazed by the volume of comments about my food – mostly positive back then. Yesterday, I found a site with a series of nasty comments and it really put me off.
Fortunately, Saturday and Sunday the place was full of friends and of course there’s always a cousin or two around. It was a great weekend. Yesterday I met Sidney Frank, an immigration officer posted in Beijing on his way to the airport. He’s been living there for many years and almost screamed when I mentioned visiting my cousin Teddy Axler in Hong Kong just before handover. Apparently, they were friendly.
I love it when people remind me of my traveling days and even more when they indulge me by listening to my stories. I try keep it as brief as possible.
