Tea Ceremony

After a long summer vacation (from tea class) it resumed today. We were 6 people including Mina-sensei.

I arrived about 20 minutes late because I got on a super-duper-express train that went on and on and on without ever-never stopping. It felt like I was back in Sweden, almost, when it finally stopped. And I got on a train back.

When I finally got to the tea class they were just entering the tea room. Since the class was quite big today each prepared tea for 2-3 persons rather than for all. Except me. I was the last one to prepare tea. And I had to prepare for all 5. Like a punishment for being late?

At 6 pm I went back to Naka-Meguro where I met Chie and Yoshiki-san at Jojoen for yaki-niku dinner. Yammy!

Went to Andreas’ apartment after office today. I had promised to take care of his flowers and mail while he is 6 weeks in Sweden on work and vacation.

On my way there from Meguro station I found this kinky church between the “Love Hotels”.

Once home, Chie and I went to Yasaka for dinner. Yummy!

Though it is September and freezing over in Sweden it is still 30 degrees here in the Tokyo area. Quite hot, and much nicer to stay inside be outside in the middle of the day.

I waited until 4:30 pm before I took Coco for a walk. As always he is a little bit reluctant at first. But once he start sniffing around he seems to enjoy it. Until after about 40 minutes when he decides he rather be with his favorite girl in the world, Chie.

Once we got back he rushed into Chie. And stayed in here lap the rest of the day. If she goes somewhere, he goes with her. Always by her side.
Very cute but sometimes hard work for Chie.

Updated my Mac to Snow Leopard or Mac OS X 10.6 yesterday. Today I installed a few softwares that I need, such as iLife and iWorks software suites.

While waiting for downloads, installations and more I found some time to play around. With Photo Booth… Passport photo if I was the worlds smartest homicide crazy maniac.
