Monday, Monday

Thank you so very much for your kind comments, stars and hearts for the last couple of blips. I'm really touched - thank you.


Today was very much a rest day; a day to catch up with myself, get used to my new surroundings and to catch up with your journals. I didn't actually leave my flat until about 5 pm, just in time to get properly drenched in downpours and winds that would make Scotland proud. "Travel in the springtime", they said...

I did, however, capture a glimpse of the lesser-spotted cyclist carrying an umbrella, seen to the left of the blip, making a quick escape. I've tried a few times to digitally capture this curious creature but they move at quite a trot.

In the evening I wandered over to Shinjuku to meet S, an old flame of mine. We haven't seen each other in 22 years and I think we were on our best behaviour (at least, I certainly was) to try to not remind each other of all the many ways we drove each other mad. We had a short but pleasant dinner and hopefully I'll see him again later in the week. He doesn't like having his picture taken and said he didn't want to be my blip (but he didn't say I couldn't put the image in another place...).

Just a handful more...
