I brought my bubbles to our session and was delighted to find out that their little girl had never seen bubbles before. ;)
First time dressed in 2018 and managed to combine it with a wee trip out. Ended up at one central Scotland's tourist attractions although it wasn't very popular today.
Was good to get out and had a couple of nice walks but might be good in future to have some company.
Having just recently taken over the Manildra contract from Pacific National, new Manildra Group owned locomotives (operated by SSR) MAN002 & MAN001 pass through Carlton with 9877 empty flour service.
with double-point needles, oh boy and it´s difficult for the first time, but I´m getting there:-)
Maria is helping me;)
A minha primeira vez a tricotar com agulhas de dupla ponta, é dificil mas eu chego lá:-)
Faz-me recordar com ternura a avó do meu marido que fazia meias com as 5 agulhas, mas na altura eu não quis aprender com ela e agora tenho de ver no youtube;)
The first time I saw this tiny grasshopper was at the end of June. It was smaller than the petal, or even the bud, of one of my dahlias. It let me stand very close with my camera, patiently keeping an eye on me while I followed it around.
First time I ever saw the Tar Heels play, they wore a helmet similar to this one against Maryland in College Park on Oct. 29, 1983.
My first pair of Toms. I don't usually care about brand names, but ever since our Guatemala team was given a truck load of Toms to give out in our village there, well, it changed things for me :)
This is the very first time that I went out into public. November 1976. The suit is red/green plaid. Thrifted.
My wife and I and some friends went to a drag show. Surprise for me was a friend was at the door, neither of us knew, it was really neat. Had a great time, and was just the first of many times out.
Some of the colors they proposed to me ~~
~~Today, I went to a nail salon in Tokyo after a long hesitation, and I don't regret it. It's the best pedicure and massage I've ever had. I was nicely welcomed, the nail tech was very nice and gave me many advice. I want to go back to the same salon to have one more wonderful and relaxing pedicure with the same tech !
Not to mention that her nails were perfect, gel nail art on fingers, and a very beautiful green on her toes.
It's the first time I was able to talk about polish with open minded girls, who really loved my pedicure and encouraged me to continue with this passion !
The weather was good of Good Friday so I packed a camera bag with my Leica R9 and Panasonic GX7 with some lenses and went to a local lake called Walton Dam. This is the first time I've gone for a walk with a camera bag since my accident on the cruise to Iceland. You have been told!

venturing into mushroom dyeing, and knowing little about mushroom identification, i picked the first sizeable and convenient one i could find, growing right at the base of a big douglas fir at the edge of our driveway, dropped it, whole, into a pot of water on the woodstove along with a small bit of alum-mordanted roving, and - voila - came out with a lovely rich golden orange shade!
after much sleuthing through books and blogs, it turns out, as luck would have it, what looked like a cinnamon roll growing at the base of that tree was a young dyer's polypore, Phaeolus schweinitzii!
...which also means that this tree is dying (no pun intended) but i'll keep an eye out for more mushrooms until then, and make the most of it.
further research indicated it would give olive greens with iron mordant, so i added some "iron water" and that is exactly what i got.
i chopped the mushroom up, simmered further, and continued to get more golden shades, as well.

I bought this 1.5斤-sized loaf pan from Majimaya on Kappabashi Street for making shokupan. After trying this recipe from Japanese Cooking 101, my only regret is that I didn't buy more pans. During my first stab at the recipe, I followed the measurements exactly, even though the pan in the recipe was a bit longer than mine. Since the resulting loaf filled out the pan into every sharp crevice, I scaled the ingredients down 10% on my next try, which turned out just right.
