We had a wonderful date in Hiroshima today in the lovely sunshine and Kaori bought me a Cajon kit, so I can make my own cajon!!
I hope I can find time to do it soon.
I want to play it now!

OSCATOWN's new building...
Today we had our last meeting with the lovely people at Brillo Casa, at our new building. It is still on schedule to be finished at the end of August...and today they were putting the skylights into the roof in the Pilatestown studio. They look really nice and will let loads of light in through the roof.
I can't wait until the building is finished...but before it is I will be adding my own little touches here and there...
Roll on September ;)

Stop to smell the roses
In class last week we had the phrase 'See the bigger picture'. It reminded me of one of my favourite sayings, 'Stop to smell the roses'.
Everyone should take time to 'stop and smell the roses'
Both have a similar meaning. Slow down for a minute, take a look at your life, ignore your problems for a while and see the positive things in your life.
This is something that we all need to do every now and again. Especially at the end of the year.
In Japan there are many "End of year parties" (in Japanese 'forget the year' party) which I always thought was a strange, however forward thinking, idea. Why would anyone want to forget the year that they had just lived?
Every year on New Year's Eve I sit alone for a few minutes and think about everything that had happened that year, and how I will learn from the mistakes I had made, to make the next year a little better, and just to take a minute to 'stop and smell the roses'.
2012 has been a great year for me...here's to 2013!! (if the world doesn't end on December 21st ;)

Santa Claus is coming to town
It is this time of year that I start to feel homesick. Christmas in London holds so many good memories for me that when December the first comes around and Christmas songs start appearing around town the memories come flooding back.
I was feeling especially homesick the other day and decided to take a look on the internet at the most famous Christmas lights in London, in Oxford Street, which are sponsored by Marmite (the smelly brown foodstuff that I love)
Then I found a link to another set of Christmas lights in Carnaby Street and I love them!!
I know they are not particularly Christmassy but the design and the presentation are wonderful.
I just wish I could go there to see them in person and walk around in the freezing, rainy evening air, eating a bag of roasted chestnuts and feeling that special Christmas feeling.
Oh by the way, as I mentioned Christmas music here is my all time favourite Christmas song...enjoy :)
