Food Diary Day 4

As requested by Jo in comments, pictures of the impromptu MJ shrine set up by his fans outside HMV in Piccadilly Circus.

This is the big long strip of paper on the pavement on which many fans have written their farewell messages to MJ.

On the wall fans have stuck up his photos and lots of little notes.

There were quite a lot of people looking at the messages.  A couple of guys even started dancing in MJ style to the music.

Yesterday was really a day of mistakes.  When we got home last night I noticed that the fridge door was wide open!  One of us must have forgotten to shut it and left it open that morning.  Unfortunately because of the heat all the mango puddings I’d made for GM’s mother had melted.  Sigh.  I had packs of pork ribs which I opened and sniffed and they smelt alright so I kept them.   When I got home today I tried to make soup and as usual, boiled the pork ribs first to get rid of the scum.  When I took the ribs out of the pack I thought they smelt a little different from yesterday but they’d been in the fridge so I ignored my nose and stuck them in the pot to boil.  And the smell.  It smelt so porky and disgusting but even then I didn’t trust myself and waited for GM to get home so he could give me his opinion.   When he stepped into the house he said straightaway that the pork had gone off.  So we had to chuck everything.  What a waste.  Even worse was that the smell of bad pork followed me around for the rest of the evening, to the gym and everything!

It’s finally Friday tomorrow, thank god.  But apparently it’s going to rain really heavily.   I just hope it doesn’t rain when I’m going to and from work.  If it’s cooler because of the rain that would be good, I don’t think I can stand the heat these days.  This morning I almost wished it was winter!
