The expanse of Tokyo |
My recent routine is to have a quiet Friday night at home, perhaps with a bottle or two of beer, with a book (I'm currently reading about nuclear accidents), or watching a film. I revisited Trainspotting on Friday night, and enjoyed rewatching the performance of Robert Carlyle as Begbie.

I participated in the BBQ with about 20 members of the Tokyo IOC (International Outdoor Club). A pretty decent group of people who organised everything to perfection. One French guy (called Piere?) volunteered to be the barman for the evening and even printed laminated drink menus. A nice group of people, although I don't think I'll become an IOC member as perhaps the clock on my time in Japan is starting to tick...

Apologies for the poor quality and scarcity of photos - due to the space limitations of my bag, I didn't take my regular camera with me, and settled for photos taken with my iPhone.
On my return to Tokyo, mid-Sunday afternoon, I was pleased to receive a call from Clara asking if she could stay in my flat on Sunday night. We had a lovely dinner together at the Italian across the road, she read some manga after dinner and promptly fell asleep. It seems Clara is quite busy these days with the demands of school and her art club.
Another memorable weekend of fine weather, different scenery, and the company of Clara.
