Oh. Was just going to write a few words while I waited for the fam but it sounds like they are a-coming-down and the sitting around is to start. I am enjoying my seat in front of the fireplace, the fire warming my stiff back. The date above - probably Christmas I think - it still on Japan time. Fitting because I am thinking about if I were still there, it would be Monday and I would be at work.

But I am not. I am here missing Japanese food so I made an attempt in the kitchen for supper - some kind of grilled white fish with miso topping, tuna filled onigiri and a wakame/shittake mushroom stirfry dish. My family really liked it and I was like…hmm…good…they have not actually gone to Japan and eaten the food so there is nothing to compare it to : p

Off to sit. I hope you are all having a good weekend wherever you are, whatever you were doing.
