P.S. Jupiter and Venus looked great tonight. Hope my photos look good on the monitors.
Feeling much better this Sunday evening. Now for my first bath in days, and then to sleep. Work tomorrow, graahhh
Feeling much better this Saturday evening. Still taking it easy at home; Sakura still filled with power.
Still at home. Still sick. Ugh. Sakura is filled with energy, at least.
Feeling ill. I’m going home early and stopping at the doctor’s office on the way.
Back home, showered, fed. Now drinking Mitsuya Cider and preparing to pass out.
I’ve got sunshine in my stomach like I just rocked my baby to sleep
Woke up in the middle of the night, did a quick job. Now it’s back to bed!

Leaving the office after far too many hours spent in it.
Nissan Nissan Nissan! Eco-friendly plant design countermeasures blah.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Except I have no rum. Also, I am not a pirate.
Back home after much Nissan translation. A late supper, then shower, then bed. Um beer fits in there somewhere.
Finishing a translation while some photos upload.
I just had a piece of chocolate from http://namur.lu/ and it was really good.
Wrapping up loose ends and getting ready to see if the Chuo Line is running this evening.
Monday morning. Back in the saddle. Espresso time …

Woke up early today with Sakura. It’s raining on and off but we’ll head outside soon.
Getting ready to leave the office and head out to Shinjuku for the evening.
Back from a walk to the banks. Money transferred safely!
Browsing news online and thinking about lunch. Translation would be a good idea at some point, though.
Rewriting a translation before heading out to Shinbashi for the evening.
Heading out for a walk around Koganei and to points beyond.
