Tajimi job is done and things went as planned. Big relief for myself.
Then client drove his car and I got free ride to next place… Toyama.
Short day trip was surely fun!



Fast sport car made me no boring while being just seated for several hours.
After early night tel meetings - I had to attend two of them in the hotel room, I rejoined the client for supper.
Supper didn't become simple one…



Thing was fun and tons of stuff to talk about. Look at my Panerai watch on right picture…
Shows the time even after midnight…
Man, it was certainly endless.

Big lunch… it was STEAK!



Went up to a gallery for pottery that MoonFlower was looking for.



I insisted to look at new car… it was CLS class.
Too nice… and Too expensive.
Most definitely unable to afford… at all. PERIOD.

MoonFlower's favorite place… called "Sunday Bake Shop."





After spending time lining up, we ended up eat-in.
Great cake with coffee.



Stopped by dealer for new car? At least, check & inspection of my vehicile.

We worry about you, "Love." She is old and now sick…
Hope she will recover soon.



Odometer of my Guilietta now indicates about 27,500km.



Vegetable and pasta for supper

Early Sunday - rushed to Chiba…
Before that, I had to make sure to tape the TV drama in this morning…



Drama performed by actress Manami Higa (in the middle).
It is suspense drama of 2 hours… and I cannot miss this because she is my favorite actress. Hahaha.

Saw the Gundam Stamp Rally - you can collect up to 65 or 67 stamps for prizes…
Gundam is popular Japanese animation.



Even around 9am on Sunday, people keep coming for stamping. Wow…





Instruction posting is not only in Japanese but in English, Korean, and even Chinese.



1st time in a long time that I sat in passenger seat…
Oh boy, Guilietta doesn't give much comfort ride at all.
While driving, it would not easily feel… but this is obvious.

Ran into local Japanese sweets shop. Just picked up some for ourselves.



After cemetery visit, late lunch is ramen noodle.
Went into a place for us to visit as first time. Called "Marutai" Ramen.



Good but still average, I guess. Not bad, though.
Just not great enough to make us come back, I guess. You know what I mean.



Family dog - Love is still healthy! That matters. She is very calm and doesn't make much move. Though, very lovely.

Late night, MoonFlower and I drove back to Tokyo. No traffic jam at all. Very smooth drive.
Weekend is now coming to an end… so as January - the 1st month of year.
I should make everything to gear up for further acceleration. Let's begin the serious work.

Just short drive up to dry cleaner… found out that the odometer just indicated 27000.
Yeah, 27,000 kilometers run so far… over 5.6 years or so.
Very low mileage, huh. It is.



Coming June, another mandatory inspection required by law is up.
That means a chance that I may switch the car… again?
Will see.

MoonFlower was with her friends all day long except dinner… when we got together for dine-out.



She has selected to come over this place tonight. Sort Chinese restaurant.
However, this place's speciality is of lamb. Yeah, lamb meat.





All of those dishes.. with lamb!!! Full of it.
Ate too much… but it were fast food restaurant because the time from placing order to the food on table was super duper fast. Hahaha.
Family dinner was good but very quick. Hahaha.
