Welcome to the World, Oliver.

...................

Last day of my one week vacation. 

Back to work on the 'morrow. 

This is probably one of my favourite styles for a dining room. 

Looks very Melbourne_ish ... so cool. 

"Future Shock" has proven to be very prophetic. 

Kinda what Life feels like right now. 

Hope that  Jun's Cafe in Fukushima is properous ! 

I'll swing by someday when I'm back in town. 

Can't wait for the third leaf to unfurl !
