End of month roundup


........... 





Sam & Chloe have bought their first house. 
It's a very exciting time, obviously. 



This would come close to being my dream bathroom. 




A famous photograph taken 80 or so years ago in the USA. 




Times Magazine ! 
Thank you for getting it right ... 





Would love to make  visit back to Japan 

to see everybody again. 

Wonder when that will happen ? 












Some Japanese friends in Fukushima.

Week Two of Dec's holiday. 

He and Wadzi went to Tunisia. 

A happy couple.

The Three Sisters in the Blue Mountains. 








The Three Sisters all met together after 10 years. 

Here's the elder two, the younger one ( and the youngest child )

took the photo in the Izakaya in Tokyo.  The boy / brother was absent. 

 ............ 


Early dinner at The Treasury Casino. 

It was really great. 









Lots of hot days and humid nights during March. 
Isn't this supposed to be Autumn weather ? 
Well guess what ... it most certainly ain't that. 




Manly Boat Harbour for Saturday Luncheon. 

First time there. 










Dec sent me this photo of himself as a baby at Samford. 

I didn't have a copy of this photo and don't recall having ever seen it before.

Picture from the Listel Hotel, Inawashiro ... how fantastic it looks. 


Dec sent me this photo, which I don't have a copy of. 

Him, as a small child, on Freddie's table @ Samford. 

Maybe 1998 ? 




Today is Memorial Day for my great-Aunt Janie who died in 1991. 

I remember her fondly.
