I'm off to Michi's 40th birthday party in a few hours

and it should be very enjoyable. We are in for a nice day and I'm sure that the guests will be up for a fun time.
My new book arrived yesterday- luckily I was in town and able to collect it. It will take some reading, but is destined to become a modern classic.



Tune of the Day: Metal Guru    by T Rex

The walk around and bbq on Sunday were most enjoyable

but sadly this week has been ordinary at best. I'm really looking forward to having a few drinks and dinner with a couple of mates tomorrow evening- should be a pleasant way to start the weekend!
I hope that you enjoyed the lunch, Goodie.


Tune of the Day:  Black Dog  by Led Zeppelin

I'm going out for another walk around tomorrow

and looking forward to taking some more photos. The invitation to a bbq afterwards is just icing on the cake!
Reading "Low Side Of The Road" at the moment- a Tom Waits biography. A lot going on in that book......


Tune of the Day:   Heartattack and Vine    by Tom Waits

The warm weather is coming back

and that is good news for me. Although I enjoy autumn and winter, I am not yet ready to pack my shorts and polo shirts away for the year. Still have some bike riding to do and hopefully a few barbecues too.




Tune of the Day:  Cheques From Chairman Mao     by Wayne Kramer

And they say that the weather in London is bad?!?

Arrived back home at lunchtime- it was a nice enough day, but the clouds have settled in and we have had pretty good rain falling for a few hours now. Perfect timing for those running around at the Street Parade in far too little clothing.


Tune of the Day:  Tommy     by The Who

Off to London in a couple of days

and as much as I would love to walk around taking photos, I just won't have time. A chance to catch up with some customers and visit our London office- and hopefully get a little sleep too.....


Tune of the Day:   Posse in Effect    by The Beastie Boys

Another great Isakaya/Okara party yesterday

and it appeared that most of the guests enjoyed themselves as much as I did  :-)  Many thanks to Hiro, Ken and the rest of the dream team.



Tune of the Day:  Riders on the Storm    by The Doors

I really wish that I had gone off on holiday with the Mooses!

This has been a dreadful week in the office so far- fingers crossed that we can do something worthwhile tomorrow and Friday to make things look a little better. I have, at least, organised a quick trip to London next week to see a few people...... maybe that will help.


Tune of the Day:   Appreciation    by Jelly and Fish

Happy Swiss National Day

guests arriving in half an hour and I'm looking forward to lighting the bbq. I don't have a problem with steak and red wine on a Sunday evening......
