Full bloom! Riding my bike along the Meguro river on my way home from work. Always a little bit extra pleasant when you can enjoy cherry blossom (sakura), I say extra pleasant because it is always pleasant to ride home from work 🙂
A funny thing about the dog that was found alive floating on and island of debris, do you know what the first thing she did once she was found? She peed in the stretcher (see the video in the Saved Dog blog post – 53 seconds in). I guess that if you have to go, you really have to go 😉
If someone asked “what makes your day?” about 4 weeks ago I think I would have had a very different answer. Now, what makes my day is finding two 2 liters bottles of water in a grocery store.
Yesterday I stopped at every convenient store (like Lawson, 7-Eleven, FamilyMart) as well as every grocery store between Shinagawa where I work and Meguro where I live. Halfway home I found a store that had 2 l bottles of water and I bought 2. By then I had stopped between 5-10 times, each time leaving the store disappointed 🙁
Today I did the same tour. But even the grocery store where I bought water in yesterday were sold out on 1.5 and 2 liters water bottles today. Luckily, Chie found a 1.5 liters water bottle at Tokyu store 🙂
For some reasons it seems news papers around the world do not report happy news from Japan. So I try to rely what was big news in Japan yesterday.
A dog was found 3 weeks after the earthquake. Floating around on an island of debris in the ocean. It seemed like she was quite happy to reunite with her owner again 🙂
Chie and I walked along the Meguro river to Naka-Meguro and as you can see the cherry trees are about 75% in blossom. In Naka-Meugro it was a lot of people, as usual.
I still think that my prediction that peak blooming will be around mid next week holds true 🙂
