National Sausage Day
Being that I spent the third with a lot of Christmassyness, I decided not to do Twelth Night (or what you will), nor celebrate the Serbian and Montenegrin (Montenegron?) celebration of Tucindan, although I do one year hope to hold my children to ransom until they give me a gift. But alas, I have no children to demand gifts from. So sausage day it is, and i have celebrated they way i know best... Sausage sarnie for breakfast, and a sausage roll for my lunch (thanks Dad!), as well as adding a sausage recipe to my book to try out at the weekend.
There's honestly not a lot more to say about the festival. I haven't been able to find much about the event's history, but there are quite a few people tweeting about what they have had today to celebrate, and also @handmadeBurger (a restaurant) has put out a controversial tweet demanding us to vote on whether a burger or a sausage is better. I am not ready for another referendum... So I have replied to their tweet letting them know, in no uncertain terms, that they should back off, as they have
their own day later on in the year (31st August).
I have had a look at the Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival which begins today and which I'll have a closer look at closer to the end when the sculptures have been sculpted. Weather permitting, the sculptures will stay in place a little longer.
In Tsurugaoka Hachiman, there has been a festival to keep evil spirits away where archers fire arrows at a target labelled 'devil'.
Tomorrow will be a much more sombre affair, As I will be learning about Pathet Lao.
