this is martine's adorable puppy pax!! he is so sweet but really sick and skin and bones. it is pretty sad because they don't really know what is wrong with him so it is hard to treat him.
This was the changeover area at the Mountain Mayhem 24hr mountain bike race this weekend. It rained plenty and there was quite a lot of mud!
I took this photo just before midnight. I went out for my first lap at 01:00 while it was still raining. The mud was quite sloppy then so I got round easily compared to people earlier and later on. The mud was stickier then which made it even harder going. I got round most of the 10 mile course without having to push much. The 1.5" Continental Cross Country tyres worked a treat. They only seem to come out once a year and that's for this race.
I don't know if this makes sense outside of my head. And anyway, it's not the least bit true. In fact, I have a very average sense of smell. This is for the FGR 5 senses challenge.
Today was the last day of Golden Week. **Sigh** And the weather? Seven out of seven -- rainy, cloudy, gray skies. I had so much I wanted to do during the week off and because of the weather, did almost none of it. And if I needed extra depression, rainy season -- where you expect this kind of weather -- is just around the corner. Makes me extra happy that I paid for my ticket to California for summer vacation this evening.
May 5th is Children's Day. It used to be Boy's Day, but in a nod towards equality, it became Children's Day after WWII. Ironically, while the name changed, the celebrations remained strictly for boys. The tradition is to display brightly colored carp-shaped koinobori banners during the first week or so of May. The tradition was one carp for each son, but with the small families these days, most families fly a standard set of four banners. In addition, families with sons also display a doll wearing full samurai armor and/or a samurai helmet in the house. The special food for Children's Day is kashiwa mochi -- pounded rice cake filled with sweet bean paste wrapped in an oak leaf and chimaki -- sweet rice cake steamed in a bamboo leaf. Boys bathe in a special bath containing iris leaves for good luck or health or something.
I had one free pass remaining for my new sports club, so I took Michael along this afternoon. The big bath was full of iris leaves, so I should be well prepared for whatever benefit they provide.
