Nice walk round #KitanomaruPark this afternoon followed by a visit to the Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo #MOMAT

Early Sunday morning many of the shops were not yet open, but down a side road and up some steps, there were large crowds around the Kanda Myojin shrine.
A red Torii gate on the left, in front of shrine. Behind it is a tall modern building. To the right is a path leading to another Torii in the distance. The square at the Kanda Myojin shrine. Hundreds of people are walking around and behind them, old shrines, and behind that taller modern buildings. The Kanda Myojin shrine, with a huge queue of people in front of it.

A refreshing winter wander around #Akihabara #Tokyo this morning. Apparently it’s 43c back home today 🫠
View down the street in Akihabara, tall buildings either side of the road displaying advertisements. Pedestrian crossing is Akihabara. People crossing the street, tall buildings on the other side with lots of anime adverts. Side street in Akihabara. Wall of a cafe has written on it “Open your doors”. A sign underneath says “Closed”.

Saw a video a couple of days ago where someone had taken down their Christmas decorations on Boxing Day?! Like, have you heard of the *12 days* of Christmas? There’s way too much Christmas before Christmas and not enough a Christmas after Christmas these days, if you ask me.

Just stumbled upon a youtube channel where a group of young lads have created a full length cricket pitch in their back garden and tbh it's much more enjoyable to watch than the ashes atm..

Loving the bands from around the turn of the century appearing on KEXP recently. Saw these guys play in Bristol and London (Astoria I think? memory is a bit fuzzy) back in the day. Lovely stuff #BetaBand www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFfo...

Thought this bush turkey wanted to be friends this morning. She tentatively approached me, then backed away, then approached again. Then when she got close enough, she just pecked at my toes, the little shit.
Looking down on a bush turkey that is about to peck my toes.

Lovely afternoon in Hunters Hill/Woolwich. I could live here, if I had to.
View from Clarke’s Point. There is a sailing boat with a light blue hull and white sails in the water, behind it is the city skyline and the harbour bridge. A green sign with white letters says “Woolwich Baths”. Above the sign is a jacaranda tree and to the left, descending stairs.

Maybe it’s a Gen Z thing, can attest that the most phones were whipped out for WIMM last night, and they were all filming in portrait.

I confidently informed my son that Here Comes Your Man is Pixies most popular song, only for him to point out it isn’t, my some margin. Seems like Where Is My Mind took off at some point. My son said he knew it “from Fight Club”, even though he hasn’t actually seen the film..

Wake up and see the Sunderland Arsenal result. Heheh, that must have been painful conceding a goal in the last minute. Let’s check how Spurs did…. I SWEAR CAN I NOT EXPERIENCE PLEASURE FOR ONE GODDAMN MINUTE?!
