Lychees

Bought some fresh lychees (荔枝) yesterday. It's the start of the season but prices of fresh lychees from mid-Guangdong province are already OK. Stuck them in the fridge overnight and had some nicely chilled ones as part of my breakfast this morning. Not too many. Hereabouts they are considered very 'hot', very yang (陽); overdose on fresh lychees and you can end up with a nosebleed or some other misfortune. When in Rome... et cetera. The weather? Glorious. Fine and hot (31C) with a nice southerly breeze over the south China coastal areas.
