What camera did you say you use again?

Sounds like you are having a fantastic time.

I love my MAC & can't wait till Tiger comes out on April 29. I'm in heaven in an Apple store.

Now that I see your post, I remember you talked about going to Japan in the spring — silly me. Glad you’re having a good time and look forward to all the great pics. And Highgate looks amazing, by the way.

I haven’t had much time to peruse blogs in a little while, so I just noticed you completed that pink sweater. It’s very beautiful and that is one fabulous shoulder seam. I’m impressed.

You’re getting more laid-back and I’m getting much more anal. Before I was more likely to leave things, now I’m more likely to rip back and fix things. The reason I never did it before was because the thought of re-knitting a big area or undoing a difficult seam and trying again was mind-numbing. Now I just toss the project aside for a week or so and when I come back to it, it’s fresh. For Mariah, I need to rework the hood. I can’t do it right now, but next week I’m goign to rip what I’ve knit and then the week after that I’m going to get back to work on it. Otherwise I’d never wear it and never re-knit.

Have fun in Tokyo! Future travel plans include Tokyo for us…right now it’s in our imagination only but who knows what kind of finances we’ll have in years to come…I would love to spend some time there.

Sounds great! I still have to get up to Tokyo for some craft shopping, maybe after I have some savings… I’m headed out for hanami now! Just hoping that the rain will hold off a little longer. Enjoy the rest of your visit!!

Glad that my list has been somewhat useful. One of the girls at the Tokyo SNB found a spinning shop in Kichijoji but I haven’t been yet. Spinning’s not all that popular, but it does exist. Try to get to Avril if you can, it’s a beautiful store. Enjoy Tokyo and let’s hope this weather improves!!!
