Diary notes:



Rode bus into city with my 2 darlings to see an ikebana exhibit (Ryoko’s ceremony teacher had a piece on exhibit – no photos allowed) at a high floor in a department store.
“Noise pollution“ is huge problem for me even with earplugs. Ditto with flouro lighting.
Then acquired various bento/snacks and a street car ride for a picnic in the park with a friend.
Saw our funny passport photographer fellas shooting a kimono girl.
On bus ride home, a man gave us nice food.
Definitely more people out n about in city recently than previous couple of years (unsurprisingly of course).



Especially enjoy seeing other parents with similar age kids as we share a common experience of babies in this weird time.
Also many new art Installations around. {“Do we dream under the same sky” exhibition currently}



Now home resting… Was a lot for me but did it. #mecfs
Still quite warm and sunny here in Okayama. My outfit was sharp (natch ;)) but a bit too hot.
Tonight we’ll carve the pumpkin + noted community Halloween event on 10/30.
No accompanying photos. approximate location denoted.
Bonus: Triptychs of postbox and payphone (should be separate post, eventually will)
