BTW, hobglobin and casa-hime . . have they been banned for some reason or what? No sign of both of them. Mod might have had enough of quotes.

Casandra and Hobgoblin- They've got the lurgy
Maybe they are actually working? Or are completely quoted out- same goes for Swanny too? where' he gone too??

The Giant Parfait is in the parfait cafe (Snowbrand cafe ,Yukisomething) in Sapporo, just south of the station- they have larger versions! I will try and post a picture of the shop window that should get you all drooling even more....

It looks better than the taste- which was not bad, but I'd prefer more flavour.

Terry Prachett is an excellent choice to read IMO- Mort, The witches and Pyramids are among my favourites.

Another nice day- I even wore my sunglasses for cycling to work

It's another sunny day and there are so less cloud that I feel lonely when I go out. Wish there were dark clouds and was drizzling a bit. Everything is so bright . . I don't even feel like going out for an icecream in this kind of weather. I am hungry and thinking what should be for lunch.

Are you complaining that its too sunny???!!
Wow you must be spoiled in Hiroshima. I went out at lunchtime only to be attacked by a psychotic crow for the second time in 2 days, right outside our building door, this evenings departure will be fun.....

Sun is ok. . but better with a bit of clouds and some rain.

Weekend came really fast this time and still it is awfully quiet. I wonder for how long have Hobglobin and Casandra been quarantined. They must have caught some computer virus (Influenza C or something)

omg how can you not like cricket! Its a good game, very relaxing to watch! My counties team are one of the best in England (Yorkshiiiiire!).
