Stepped out of the house, and managed to take this quite cool picture of a garden tiger feeding on the bush in front of our house, being hassled by a wasp.
That depends on what you consider an obstruction. It looks like this... So cars have to park on the pavements, leaving only half of the pavement to pedestrians. My argument was that this is more of a problem than than delivery robots (at least for now), and the govt is unwilling to outlaw it.
My daughter came to visit this weekend, and tonight we watched the whole of Small Prophets in one go. What an utterly brilliant series - I laughed and cried more than I've done in a long time. Honestly the best thing I've watched in quite a while. #SmallProphets
Went to a sweaty pub tonight to see #WellSaid, a great HK emo band. It was worth it. 😁
Jiji was named after this book (or more accurately, after the Ghibli adaptation), and now I'm finally getting around to reading it. Very slowly. 😁 #魔女の宅急便 #角野栄子 #KikisDeliveryService #EikoKadono #CatsOfBluesky #BlackCats
NHK's テミスの不確かな法廷 (Themis's Uncertain Court) is really good, highly recommend. About a judge with ASD and ADHD, it's touching, funny, with some very engaging and gripping stories and cases. #テミスの不確かな法廷 #ThemisUncertainCourt
Beautiful visitor to our small garden today, I think it's a Banded Demoiselle. #Dragonfly
Amazing evening with Risa Takeda 武田理沙 and Yoshida Tatsuya 吉田達也 at Cafe Oto tonight.
Haha, I took almost exactly the same photo in Todoroki Ravine Park about two years ago 😁
Dude, you've got something on your nose 😹 #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky #BlackCats
大濛 (A Foggy Tale) is brilliant. Set in Taiwan in the 50s during the Kuomintang's White Terror, it follows a young girl travelling to Taipei to collect the body of her executed older brother. Despite the heavy subject matter, it's often humorous, and both beautiful & heartbreaking. #大濛 #AFoggyTale
I always have to put out a couple of extra chairs when sitting outside 😹 #CatsOfBluesky #BlackCats
Watching the latest episode of 田鎖ブラザーズ (Tagusari Bros.), I noticed I'm finally picking up the different levels of polite speech I struggled with for so long (I still do, but it's a start 😅).
