On Clothes Shopping and Dumplings

[danieldwilliam]

I have had a shopping spree and gone out for dinner by accident.

On the way home in the very, very hot I found myself very, very hot and thougth that I needed some cooler clothes. Speficially some linen trousers.

Just as I was thinking this to myself, My Lovely Wife told me that the Captain was staying for tea with his friend.  Would I like salad for tea?

So I headed off to Debenhams and Primark (I am not spending serious money on clothes until either my waist lost campaign has succeeded or failed) and bought about a dozen short sleeved shirts, 3 pairs of shorts, a hat and a pair of the most comfortable trousers and a belt. The trousers are not linen. I did not buy linen trousers.

I then went home, to discover that the Captain was staying over at his friend's house. MLW was "just popping over to drop off his pj's" and would make dinner when she got back in "ten minutes, I guess". 90 minutes and two beers later she returned and said she didn't fancy salad after all and so I took MLW out for dinner at Street of Beijing a very nice little Chinese dumpling restaurant in Tollcross. We had soup dumplings, which are not, as I expected dumplings in soup, but soup inside dumplings. And other dumplings and some salt and pepper chicken and seafood chow mein. All very delicious.

I adore soup dumplings but I don't know where to get them outside China...
