...with an old quote.
As young Samwise Gamgee would say "Well, I'm back".

And so I am. As might be expected considering the circumstances I am not overly pleased about this fact. Her Ladyship's newly imposed absence from the british Isles is... difficult. I am not dealing with it very well. Not least because until today I hadn't realised that I wasn't dealing with it very well. Things have felt somewhat off kilter, nothing is quite in my comfort zone, everything has been just that little bit harder to manage. I thought that was the change in circumstances, weather, language or going back to work... but it isn't fading. Not one bit. So I do apologise to people if I seem a little more scatterbrained or a little less like myself than I usually am.

On the other side it was really nice to see people in London today, both old faces and new. Odd, but nice.

My recent adventures in Japan have led to copious notes and images. I will try and share some with people from here on in. Some of the better images, a short description and quite possibly a pair of observations; one good thing and one bad thing about my experience in Japan.

Would we be interested?
