Long time without posting…

It’s been way too long since I last wrote something.

But, in my defense, we’ve been pretty busy. Highlights?

  • Yoko’s cousin’s wedding in Niigata.
  • Work, lots of work.
  • Yoko’s brothers wedding.
  • More work.
  • Moved house.

And Mia has teeth now! She is very chompy.

Two weddings in the space of about 5 weeks, both out of town, so we were away for the weekend. Both great though, took heaps of photos, really happy with how they turned out. Will think about posting one or two on Flickr. Weddings in Japan are quite the event, very impressive.

Also, I finally got around to getting a new camera… I’m back with the Nikon brand again! One shiny new Nikon D90. Am most pleased with it. Have been really enjoying Black and White again…

And we’ve moved.

We’re now living in Kachidoki, only been here about a week, but loving it so far. It takes a bit longer to get to work, but it’s a much bigger apartment, in a really great part of Tokyo.

It’s on the 57th floor – second from the top in this photo.

The view is great, maybe even better than the view from our old place in Shibaura.

We went for our first good walk around the district today, had lunch in Triton Square, then walked around the parks there, then walked up to Tsukishima and explored some of the backstreets near “Monja Street”. Very cool, great way to spend a Sunday. Posted a couple of photos from the day on Flickr.

 

Anyway, will try and post a little more frequently.
