Already… final corner of the year…
October. What have I done so far? Not really much yet… oh boy!



Odometer hits 22,138 kilometers.
Annual average is now down to 6,800 or so.
How much longer will I drive this car? That is a BIG question. Hahaha.

Probably another year or two… right before next mandatory inspection.



G-Shock on my wrist today.



Supper was at home with wine.
Lamb stew came as entree. This was GREAT one. I love this dish and I should ask MoonFlower for this more often.

Still weekend continues.

Yes, it was a quick decision… made by MoonFlower. As usual.
Tulip glass lights are coming to our new home in this winter.



Yes, these are antique and MF found them in some magazine, I believe.
She placed an order and the shop looked for it…
According to the shop, it finds such piece once or twice a year at most. In some year, there is no finding.

I guess, MF is quite lucky.



Not only finding but also condition… this piece is in great condition. Even better.
Though, we're moving into such tiny place… such vivid decoration can be "unmatched?" Hmm. Will see.

Meanwhile, mine stuff was just in and picked up. Blue leather strap to my Frank Muller.



Well, stainless silver strap is good but variety of strap is even better and MoonFlower can put this on her wrist as well.
Therefore, this strap is now ours. Cool.

Big shopping day today. I will be quiet for coming weekend. Hahaha.

It is working Saturday. Worked through the afternoon home today.

Work went okay… slower than expected. Not that much productive? It is okay… I still stay it all in control.

Of course, I didn't forget to wind the watches!



After 6pm or so, I FINALLY went out. Driving in fact.
Stopped by a ramen shop for supper.



Good and quick supper.
Then relaxing night started. Big special TV program lasting for 27 hours is on and I had to glue my face on the TV.

Let me slow down here…

Well, I could have taken a day off today…
Though, I worked home. Started at 9am and done by 8pm.
Just as usual… ordinary working day even though still in the middle of Golden Week - Japan's vacation time.

One news besides work…
New strap just in and hooked it to Explorer II. Have a take a look at new dress-down Rolex:



The color is light gray-ish blue. Not bad, huh!
I like it.

Now less often to wear this watch. With new strap, this watch comes up more often than ever in this summer for sure!

It is Saturday! Started early at 8am. Wow, it is early.
Since MoonFlower went out with her friend and drove our car… I have nothing to do and no car to drive around.
That is still okay as far as I come to secure great freedom!

Went out to shoe repair shop for my two different pairs which their soles need maintenance.
Cost was 2,700 yen or 25 bucks. I can pick them up tomorrow.

Wanted to get haircut since my hair is getting long.
When was last time that I went to my saloon? I bet it was early January and, for almost 1.5 months, I have no haircut.
Time to get it done! So I called for appointment. I instantly reserved it for 5:30pm. Yes, same day - today.

Had time about 1 hour until then. Decided to stop by coffee shop.
I thought that it was time to test how well my new headset works. I went to cafe with tons of customers and loud jazz music played.
It was a perfect condition to test such noise cancelling feature by BOSE.

Well, my impression is that this WORKS QUITE WELL. What a technology!
There is no doubt that this works fine in flight when I am going to Germany in two weeks. Cool.
I cannot wait on board to the flight to Munich! (even though I fly economy!)

Now I need software… to this great hardware. Let me see what I should get. What kind of music then?

Supper starts home as MoonFlower came home and so I did after haircut.
My hair got shorter than expected. This makes me feel cold?
Wine bottle gets open.



Nice dinner setting with flower today.



Watching gourmet TV which is recorded. Program called "Wakaso Sake."



Supper continues.



Finished with pasta and still sweets followed.



Winding my precious watch - Audemars Piguet. MoonFlower told me to take this Royal Oak off. Hahaha, I have to resist.
My precious time winding the watch.

Good and relaxing day just passed by. Cannot complain.

Saturday begins earlier than usual.
MoonFlower has some appointment with her friends somewhere… thus we both woke up early.
It was 7:30 when our morning began.

Finally, we achieved to activate our weekend as early as 7:30. First time in 2016!



My Diagono is out of the collection box for the 1st time in a long time…
Winded up manually upon setting the correct time.
Perfect fit to my wrist once again.

This is my watch for the day and went out to see a movie.



The choice made was of Japanese police movie. This is one converted from old TV series.
It was quite popular when on air then.
"Abunai Deka" or "Dangerous Detectives." Two crazy police officer closes many tough cases with lots of bullets.

Unlike current TV drama with police character, too much violence in it. Hahaha. So easy and so cool.

It was very short 110-minute movie with lots of fun without any thinking.
So relaxing.
Happened to have enough points for free movie ticket and exercised such great right.
Free movie with 290-yen coffee then.

Spent 2nd half of the afternoon home, dozing off for a while… Hahaha.
MoonFlower came home around the sun set and we decided to dine out tonight.
Last Thursday, we ate Japanese… tonight we chose Western cuisine.

French Bal - her favorite small restaurant located in walking distance. We know of the chef and cute girl working with him.
Small place managed by just two.
However, the business should be good and growing. Every time we go there, we can tell more and more frequent fans and customers there.



Potato gratin - I believe that this is the dish for the night.
Next time, I should check it out again.



Pinot noir 100% wine tonight.



"Taraba" Crab and avocado with Balsamic source.



Last - the dinner finishes with pasta. Carbonara with bacons. Good choice I made!!!
Great finish.

Good food along with tasty wine. Of course, good company (wifey).
It was fun and great time between us.
