Marcus is back at work - he's taking the two Wednesdays and Thursdays off while we're here.
Today we had breakfast at Everbright in Peel St, just around the corner from ours. Lady chef who writes cookbooks, a bit of a minor star. Clippings on the wall. One bench inside and tables out in courtyard which are unusable in the rain. (On our 3 visits we only once successfully stayed out at a table).
Peel Street is parallel to Aberdeen St, another very steep slope, and its pedestrian only. At the bottom is a stall where a man sells fishtanks and fish. Then a stall where Elf bought some classic Chinese gold and red tassled lampshades. Then there's a vegetable stall where a lady and her ancient mother sell a range if produce but pride of place is taken by a massive green marrow/melon. It was there throughout our visit. One day it suddenly was cut and one third was gone.
After breakfast we got washing done, read and snoozed. I found the local supermarket that the Airbnb host had mentioned. The way he described to get there was blocked by a major construction project; although he lives in HK he seems not to have visited the neighbourhood for some time.
I bought some "salted eggs" which I assumed were hard boiled - they turned out to be raw.
We spent Friday evening at Marcus's watching TV, the best of everyone’s YouTube faves.
Some pics from the entrance and stairs of Marcus's apartment block.
