Fedora Extras
Leon
Leon's been very sleepy the last day or two, and this continued overnight as he slept through from around midnight to after 8:30am again (OK, so he had a bit of a feed at 5:30am but I think I must have slept through that 
). It's nice to get some long sleep myself too 
Received a surprise package from my ex-colleague John Cartman, with some soft toys for Leon, which was nice.
FA Cup
City overcame Scunthorpe 3-1, though we were 1-0 down at the end of an abject first half. It was worse than Wednesday night against Spurs, and that's going some. I don't know what was said at half time but it worked. Lee Croft came on in place of Nedum, who'd been having a nightmare, and made an immediate impact, setting up Robbie Fowler to score a couple of minutes in. Robbie's touches and flicks started coming off for him, and he stroked a desrved second in for 2-1. Sun Jihai's attacking flair provoked a handball from a defender for a penalty, and up stepped Robbie for his hat-trick, the first one by a City player since... well, I can't remember! Credit to Scunthorpe who came and played football like it should be, with neat passing and movement. I hope their 6,500 fans had a good day out. We'll need to play a lot better against the Rags next week though.
Food
Tried Sharwoods' Kung Po sauce, with a couple of large chicken breasts and half a celery. It was a bit sweet but Bingning's mum thought it was pukka, so we'll probably have it again.
