Abukuma 阿武隈川

Golden Week
Windy Wednesday
04th May, 2011

We loaded everything onto the trusty treadlies
and pedalled along until we found a shady tree
where we shared a wonderful lunchtime picnic
 by the Abukuma River
This City.



Lent is over so we could eat baguettes again ...


Lazy Daze together. 
I can`t imagine Life with anyone else.


Some birds were chirping "Hello" to us from the tree.
 But maybe my camera is not so good ....


A happy Spring day !

Today is the first anniversary of the untimely passing of my friend, Naoko Seki, from This City.
R.I.P. Naoko_san.  I hope that you are enjoying Spring in Heaven.


Then onto shopping `n coffee.


Singles tournament on the courts by the Abukuma River
will start next Sunday morning.


Two new racquets from Ohnoya Sports.

Museum

Sunday, 1st May, 2011
And it`s the start of Golden Week
After eating delicious, hot noodles together at the counter of  our favourite
noodle bar here, we rode our bicycles together out to the Museum.
I had scored some complimentary tickets to the new exhibition there
 from my good friend, Hiroshi-san @ Tepco PR !






At the bookstore there, Chikako tried fukubiki ..... she "won" ??



And I purchased two new glossy art books for my reading pleasure ......





The exhibition was essentially only animae sketches in various stages of
 production, which in and of itself was boring. But all was not lost as our
freebie tickets allowed us to go to the 2nd level to see some interesting
 art pieces by Japanese and Gaijin Masters.
Much more to our liking ....
