Finally

Finally got back to Japan and down to the house in Izu. Cathay had some engine trouble so the flight was delayed almost an hour. Got the Narita Express at 6.48 and then played telephone tag with Tim Nicholls. Tim was calling to talk about his secondment to Hong Kong. I think we managed to cover most everything in about 15 calls. Either a tunnel or some electric shock from the trains would conveniently knock me off the line.

I finally made it to Izu Kogen station at 10.20 after transfers at Tokyo, Atami and Ito.

Now that the rainy season is here it is cloudy and rainy. Rumor has it tomorrow will be better weather. Anyhow I have had a pleasant day sitting around, talking with Thor, cooking and napping. Tonight I'll bbq for the family. Anton is due home soon from a night or two in Shimoda at the Marshalls.

The hot water is running in the bath.

Cocktail time soon!

Still don't know how to upload pictures.......
