suddenly and briefly

we had a couple of spring days last week. but now, it’s turned cold and wintery days are back. i am loving my new item (a poster) on the sideboard and enjoying the scent of my white hyacinth that came into bloom when spring was here.


my humble life, and painstaking work, seem to go on in this depth of winter.


have a great weekend, my friends!

toties quoties

on new year’s day, i had the same feast with my old mother as last year. certainly,

that was when i felt happy about the new year.

these are the dishes we ate

(you might remember my 2009’s pics and find these boring, though) :

the feasting time is over now.

still, my memory of the 2010 new year feast stays ;)

have a great week, everyone!!

holiday season

hello everyone. some of you could’ve been thinking where on earth i was. i am still here, but i’ve been engaged in another project. plus, my daughter stayed with me for a while so i was pretty busy being a good mother. she returned to tokyo yesterday and i started catching up on my own things as well as tidying up rooms to get ready for this weekend’s arrival of my son and his wife, yes, my daughter-in-law! phew.



at least, my mother and I will be having a quiet christmas day together. i should be cooking a christmas lunch for her, though. i hope everyone is enjoying this holiday season, too.

speak to you again soon!
