Wednesday
the 21st of September, 2016 

Happy 8th Anniversary to us !  

Eight years ago today,  in 2008,  Chikako moved from That City to This City. 

The 21st was a Wednesday and we both worked, 
however the next day, Thursday the 22nd was a public holiday in Japan. 
So we decided to celebrate on that day, albeit very rainy, instead. 






Above    Chikako bought some flowers to celebrate the occastion.
Below    We walked up in the rain at 6 pm to HiFuMi Restaurant for dinner. 
























As always, HiFuMi was wonderful ! 
Plus we drank a bottle of Australian YellowGlen  Pink. 

Happy Anniversary to us.

We went for lunch at a Chinese Restaurant in this City which we often go to. 

Soon the restaurant will go to make way for a new, large FMU Building 
in the middle of This City  ! 






We will be sad to see this shop go !

Sunday
11th September, 2016

We are members of a Walking Group. 
This year we have only been able to participate in one walking event
due to either the weather or to not being in Japan. 
However, this Sunday we managed to bring it all together and go walking. 
Yay ! 








 Yukie and Chikako just after signing in at Iizaka Station.











 The rice paddys are looking golden and wonderful. 



4.3 kms into the walk there was a pit stop. 
Some light refreshments .... 








Some goldfish lazing about in the pond. 














After the walk we caught the train back and then met Emi and Momo Chan
at the station. We all went back to our apartment for lunch together. 
It was fun, as it always is .

My Horoscope for the week starting 03rd September.

They say that if you put a frog in boiling water, it will jump out, but that if you put it in cold water and heat it to boiling point, it'll stick around for a grim end. Whilst the truth of this statement leaves much to be desired, it still proves a useful metaphor. We may think that we're comfortable, even when the reality of a situation becomes a pale version of its initial appeal. Yet now there's an opportunity for change. You may not exactly need to 'hop it', but you can definitely ensure that people understand the climate you require

Oh, bitter sweet memories of this date. 
Long ago, on a rainy Friday morning in a distant land  ..... 

Meanwhile, in This City 

We went for lunch at Ana Garden. 







And yet another typhoon is predicted to come tomorrow. 
Monday is also my day off, of course !
