Initially, there was a fine drizzle and we waited. After a while, it stopped and we started out on our morning walk.
As you can see, the Kledang Hill was covered with mist.

Update from my garden.
Japanese cucumber plant growing in a big pot.
This snapshot was taken on the 1st August, 2022.
This was on 26th August, 2022 (25 days later).
I cut off some of the lower leaves and now you can see the baby cucumbers hanging on the plant. This cucumber plant is doing well and growing fast probably due to the rainy season.
This was taken on the 6th September, 2022.
Also on the 6th September.
My first 2 fruits from my home grown cucumber plant.
The longer cucumber is more than a foot long and the shorter one is about a foot long. Hubby and I ate these cucumber raw to enjoy the natural sweetness of freshly harvested cucumbers.
Home grown Hong Kong Brassica (baby choy sum) in a tiny patch.
I took this snapshot on the 26th August, 2022.
6 days later I harvested these for dinner.
Some have started to flower.
I blanched the HK Brassica (baby choy sum) together with some remaining napa cabbage. I drizzle the remaining roasted sesame dressing on the vegetable.
Spicy dried shrimp paste (sambal belacan) fried rice with big prawns.
For more flavour or extra oomph, hubby added some chilly oil to his plate of fried rice.
This was our simple home cooked dinner.
Delicious and satisfying dinner for two.

My son, never forget the things I've taught you.
If you want a long and satisfying life, closely follow my instructions.
Never tire of loyalty and kindness. Hold these virtues tightly.
Write them deep within your heart.
If you want favor with both God and man,
and a reputation for good judgment and common sense,
then trust the Lord completely, don't ever trust yourself.
In everything you do, put God first,
and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success.
(Proverbs 3:1-6, The Living Bible-TLB)
