Snow in Japan

Oddly enough, it snows in Japan, too.  Dense snow followed by cold and steady winds under bright sunshine used to do things like this in Ottawa when I was growing up.  Can’t recall seeing it since. There’s something rather… hobbitty about this pic, if I may say so.  Fwd from Cousin Gerald.

More weather…

This time the weather is gorgeous.  It’s just hanging on the freezing point and gloriously sunny.  The sunlight is bouncing off what’s left of yesterday’s snow in a glorious way.

We ate dinner en famille last night (happens so rarely these days that I must comment… ) I baited the table with sushi.

I bought and tried an ammonia-free glass cleaner last night.  It’s quite expensive, but it really works – the soap scum was leaping off the glass doors in the shower in a most entertaining way.  The brand is Seventh Generation.  Unfortunately for me, cleaning things is going to be my highest priority until the house is sold.  Yeah, I know, cry me a river.
