Spot on!!

トークが少なくて音楽の話が多い。
その上80年代、90年代の本物のロックがてんこ盛り!

Ecotools

http://www.parispresents.com/EcoTools_s/70.htm

Make up bamboo brushes I bought in Guam 2 years ago.
These are excellent brushes (& eco-friendly), and now I hear we can buy them in Ireland!!

4か月ちかく放置していたけどそろそろ再開。
夏は色々あって幸せを見つける時間があまりなかった(苦笑)。

シローは楽しくなかったかも(汗)。

Flowers in Japan, April 2010








The weather was mixed in Japan this spring. On some days it was freezing cold, and on other days it was hot like summer. But this is the best time of the year over there as flowers are
just so gorgeous!

It's lovely on a sunny day.

いいお天気の日には犬用の飲用水を忘れずに!

Crochet Course

















I'm attending a crochet class every Thursday morning. Audrey, the teacher, is absolutely lovely and I'm really enjoying it. I made a Beanie hat with Aran yarn, and Audrey gave me flowers to decorate it.

下手だけど編み物好き。

WMF Horizontal Vegetable Peeler


















Looks stylish, but I was quite disappointed when I held it. The handle is not very comfortable. But when I started to use it, I felt a bit happier as it's very sharp and easy to use!

引きだしにではなく、壁にかけて見せて収納したい。

My Friend's Wedding

A friend of mine who lives in Vancouver got married in Ireland. I felt honoured to be there to celebrate the beginning of their new life as a married couple. The wedding reception was held at Beaufield Mews, where we had our wedding reception nine years ago!

Snowdrops



















Adding lovely white colour to the brown winter garden.

約10年前に今の家を買った際に球根を庭に植えたのだが、花が咲き始めたのは去年の冬からだ。

Lipton Russian Earl Gray Tea Bags















This tea is available only in France. I have no idea why. Lipton is an English company, it's "Russian", and French people are not big tea drinkers. I have been trying to cut down the amount of tea and coffee intake since the beginning of this year, but I have to enjoy this tea every so often (and Darjeeling tea, too)!

Even though I have been trying to cut down the amount of tea and coffee intake since the beginning of this year, my health situation isn't all that great... Is it worth the effort, I wonder....

日本でいう「ロシアン・ティー」は、紅茶にジャムを入れて飲むもの(だったと思う)だけど、ロシア人に聞いたらそんなことはしないそうだ。紅茶にジャムを入れるのではなく、ジャムを食べながら(!!)飲むんだって。でもこの紅茶はジャムの味ではなくレモンの風味がする。

Free Paul McCartney Live CD with Mail on Sunday







































It reminded me of the concert I was at last December. Sounds (still) good!
And looks (still) OK!

Daily Mail Online


このCDを入手するために普段は買わないタブロイドを買ってしまった!

Light Fitting


















New light fitting for our master bedroom. I think it's quite nice.

以前使ってたのが割れた。以前のがとっても気に入ってたので哀しかったけど、これも結構中々よいと思う。

Gina G - Ooh Aah... Just a Little Bit



It was Britain's 1996 Eurovision entry song. I hadn't heard this song for a long long time until when I happened to see it on one of the TV music stations. It's a catchy song and I kind of like it.

若い頃はイモ女子大生・イモ女子大学院生をしてたのでこんな感じで「ワクワクしながら夜の街に繰り出す」みたいなことは関係ない世界に生きてた。今から思うとこういうのやってみたかったなー(ちょっとくらいは)、と思ったりして。

Snow
















It plays magic and everything somehow looks purer.

ダブリンではなくアメリカ北東部に住んでいるような気になる。

Rörstrand - Pergola Range









I saw the plates & cups at House of Fraser and immediately fell in love with the design. It's a Swedish brand (though now owned by the Finish ittala). I love it I love it I love it!!



いつかぜーったいシリーズで揃える!!
