A Mushroom Day

-
I was loitering in alpha boy's garden and bumped into these cute looking plants (at least to me :D). Ended up spending 15 minutes taking pictures (got bitten N-times by mosquitoes).

Can someone tell me if they are edible? 
If they are, it would be a waste not to turn them into food :p
I love to eat mushrooms, especially fresh mushrooms like Portabello and button mushrooms. The problem is, I find the fresh mushrooms in supermarket expensive compare to those dried mushrooms and canned button mushrooms imported from China (side effect of getting cheaper mushrooms in OZ & UK -.-). So, wouldn't it be amazing if fresh and edible mushrooms are growing in your garden :O?

It has been bothering me since I discovered the mushrooms in alpha boy's garden. How can I find out if the mushrooms are edible? I've tried Google search but I just couldn't confirm. They look like something called "Death Cap" which is poisonous but according to wiki, "Death Cap" only grow in Europe. If you look at the round cap mushroom, don't you think it looks like the button mushrooms where you can purchase from the market? 

PLEASE let me know if you happen to know the answer. Thank you *big wet eyes*.

Chichele Road

Farewell to the tiny room at St Pauls Avenue. Goodbye to the always "happening" OZ housemates. Leaving behind those tiny creatures - beg bugs -_-. I am saying hello to our new flat at Chichele Road ! After all we have been through we can finally move out from the house with 11 rooms and more than 15 housemates. All the unwashed dishes in the kitchen, unwashed jeans & dirty underwear hanging in the shared bathroom, shoes & clothes that scattered everywhere on the floor, housemates that always booze & party & etc etc. If you are looking for a place to stay in London, never ever go for accom*modation Lon*donn. Why? The beg bug drama alone is enough to stop you from living in the house T___T Anyway, the new flat is 3 times (or more?) larger than our previous room in St Pauls. At least, 3 of us don't have to stay in the same tiny room anymore. Pictures time! The room for 2 pretty girls *cough* not women *cough* Taken with another camera mode Lounge/Reception or

[Jordan] Wadi Mujib Reserve, Siq Trail

-

I didn't have any expectation for Wadi Mujib Reserve. I thought it would just be another ordinary water trekking trail under scorching sun. Yes, it's summer now in Jordan and we have just experienced 40°c a couple of days ago in the desert 😣 It was only at the Wadi Mujib Reserve Centre that we realised it's an adventurous trail with high water level and strong water current. In fact, it's canyoning that we need to do: climb, wade, abseil and swim at certain places! I was reluctant at first due to the hot weather and had doubts if I could complete the trail. But hubby was keen and my father in law is going too (he is in his 70s!), so there really was no excuse for me not to. My father in law who is an avid traveller and photographer The trail started with a climb down a rock. From here, the water level got higher as you walk/wade deeper into the canyon. At one point, I was almost swept away by the strong water current. I grabbed the rope as tightly as I can a

2021 Recap

-

My 2021 was definitely not all sunshine and rainbows but looking back my heart has chosen to remember more of the good ones:  Consistent workout throughout the year I managed to maintain 3 - 4 workout sessions per week with one goal in mind - for health, be it physically or mentally. The key to maintain consistency is to turn workout into part of your lifestyle and most importantly, go for routines that you are comfortable with. I've tried multiple workout programs and I found these work best for me -  Yoga with Kassandra and standing workouts from Chloe Ting . Sometimes when I don't feel like following instructions from the TV, I will hop on the cross trainer for 30-45 mins and of course walking the dogs help too!  Completed my therapy sessions  At times I questioned myself why "waste" my precious weekend albeit just an hour to attend the therapy sessions. Yet, no regrets after completing a total of 8 sessions with the therapist. It helps me to understand myself bet
