September

The by now annual summer hiatus from blog posting has finally come to an end.
We are back.
Feel free to cry.
August and our trip home (and then Daddy's subsequent tip to the US of goddamn A!) has meant that there is lots to write about, but little time to do it. Plus, September in Hokkaido is a temporal encounter with my conception of heaven: blue skies, light westerly breeze, crisp, dry air, highs of 23, lows of around 14, water temperature a relaxing 18+, and a steady waist to chest high swell.
It won't last long, and when it's gone there will be plenty of (cold) time for blogging, but for now head and the heart are elsewhere.
