May Day at Hastings

As the weather was great, I visited Hastings on May Day. Unfortunately I didn't realise that was the same day everyone else South of London goes to Hastings as well - including hundreds of bikers. The place was absolutely heaving and it was impossible to find anywhere to eat lunch without a reservation, but fortunately after climbing the cliffs it became a lot quieter. I ended up sitting down on the grass looking over the town and enjoying an ice cream to keep cool.

Dutch Beer Experience - Rodenbach

Last weekend Mrs Game Fugu and I stayed with friends in Izegem, a small city in Belgium close to Ghent and Bruges. The first thing we did, after eating a few waffles, was try the local brew - Rodenbach. It was my first time trying a red ale (mixed from young and aged ales), and it tasted pretty good.

Of course, as a Belgian beer it was also pretty strong...

Chibi Fugu Report - Chilli Chan Progress

Chibi Fugu here! Chilli Chan has done well this week, and is now up to four leaves. Every day it follows the sun as it crosses the window, so it turned 180 degrees to help it grow straight. It's amazing how much it can move in a few hours! It is still too slow for a video report though, sorry...

Some people have asked me, as a fish, why I care about how spicy a chilli is. Well, we have tongues too! Of course, if it is very spicy I won't have a problem drinking plenty of water to cool it down. Advantage fish!

Chibi Fugu Report - Chilli Pepper Edition

Chibi Fugu here! After a recent visit to Sandbach, I got my hands on a chilli pepper seedling. It only sprouted a week ago, so it will be a few more months before there is anything to eat.

I don't even know what type of chilli we will get from it. Hope it's not too spicy...

I will keep the blog updated with photos of it growing, and deliver an exclusive report on how hot it is. Watch this space!
