Adam (and Chisa) gave me a belated birthday present today - a set of incence sticks and holder - cherry blossom aroma (very Japanese). As you might be able to see, the packaging is beautiful and it was a shame to open it, but I lit one tonight and they smell lovely (you can see it in action here). Thanks Adam and Chisa!

Took the boys to see the new house today - they seemed to approve but it's smaller than I remember. Hopefully it will grow in size before I move in.
