Last shopping for the year just finished.
While MoonFlower bought a pair of shoes, I come to choose this.
Normally, I cannot buy this at this brand because too expensive.

I could just because it was outlet price. Thank goodness.



Tie from ETRO.
2-tone tie can be worn in interesting fashion style like:



This! Cool, huh. I love it!
Yes, one another good buy.



Supper was year-end party between MoonFlower and I.
DIdn't go to any restaurant for that. Instead, we bought fresh fish - SASHIMI - along with sake.
It was relaxing dinner for two and good end for 2015.

Bon - Japan's summer vacation week - just started even for me.
I woke up earlier than usual and drove down to Chiba.
Fortunately, the traffic jam that I went into was light case and I spent just extra 30 mins. Not bad… at all.



Then I picked up MoonFlower at her mother's home and we headed down to cemetery for prayer.
Tons of people including lots of children were seen in the cemetery park today. Typical Obon scene for sure.

After this, we went out for errands. MoonFlower needs to buy many things for home.
I had to beg her to stop by a cafe for break and even offered to buy her drinks.




Big sweet drinks for two!
One is with creme on top and the other comes with ice cream. Big difference, right? Yes, indeed.

Then final stop was at grocery store.



No wine… just beer tonight.
Two import beer for us… along with dinner place such as:



pork dumplings!

MoonFlower and I made them home tonight. Wonderful plate it was.
Very relaxing home tonight. Perfect start for Obon period. This is to continue…

Moving is decided. Now where to live is determined.
Where am I going?
I will let you know more later… you'd better stay tuned. Hahaha.

At least I can share… I will still remain within Tokyo.
Yeah, this move is from eastern part of Tokyo to different part of it.
Will see where…

Today there was a meeting organized by the real estate developer for contract matter.
It took longer than expected. It was about 4-hour long.
Much information were provided… though, nothing new to me since this is 2nd purchase of any house.

Didn't go out to do anything much besides the meeting with real estate developer.
Since raining was forecasted, no energy to do… besides coming home right away.
Supper was home-made by MoonFlower.

Opened a half-sized bottle of sparking wine. That was pretty good, actually.



Now we have to get busy to be ready for new home.
It is pretty much MoonFlower's responsibility to design the life style within given layout of new home.
Am sure that she is quite excited but it is going to be heavy work for her to come up something how we live in new environment.

Will see how that would go.

As mentioned earlier, I will disclose more and more details about where to live and how the new home is going to be like.
Please keep coming back. I will update as often as possible!

Time really flies.
It actually did so.
It was just 1 year ago when mother-in-law passed away.

Today it was religious ceremony about 1st year after her death.
Her friends showed up in addition to all family members to the ceremony.
It was surely memorable and all thought of her when she was fine.

Watch selected for such ceremony was Royal Oak since it was serious and formal moment.



Work? I did take a day off today and tomorrow just because of this.

After the ceremony, I came to a chance to walk the dog for the 1st time in such a long time.



MoonFlower's favorite dog - Love.
She is quite old and walked a little with me today.
It was some exercise even for me.

Another long week is about to end…
It is ABOUT TIME!!!
Finally home after work… it was already 10pm.

Though, perfect dining in tonight thanks to my wife.

Start with bottle of wine… from 2009!





Haut-Médoc was the choice for the night. Cool.
It is grand cru wine. No wonder that this tastes SO GOOD.
No complaint. Just perfect.











Good supper. Good start for relaxing weekend.
No work over the weekend this time? Hope not!
