Low Key Holiday - update

Today, Saturday, marks the fourth day of our Golden Week holiday. As I mentioned, we so far really don't have any plans to go anywhere or do much of anything.

Our riding school is closed for holidays from today, so we did as many lessons as possible (two hours per day) on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

After yesterday's riding, we re-screened some of our screen doors and windows (lovely black screen with great air-flow), and went out for dinner at ourfavourite local yakitori restaurant.

We branched out and ordered some non-yaki-tori food, such as the hotate (scallops) below.












A regular to this restaurant, this man was already rather drunk on his cho-shu and oolong tea when we arrived. He struck up a conversation with us and was happy to pose for me:



Today's activities will include: car washing/waxing, reading in the sunshine, and more door re-screening. Let the games begin!

PS - these images were organized with F-Sport photo manager and edited/resized in Gimp, in Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope.
