The chappeax coffee shop at the Fukuoka symphony building.  
Very interesting building with a whole side being covered in trees.  And not just small trees .
This is the 13th floor of the building.

The tree building 
An old building in Fukuoka.  It is a culural asset now.  














Fumiko old coworker Ito san.  She took us to a resturant with a private room.  It was a very nice lunch. 







At the Fukuoka shrine.  There was a big group of German tourists visiting.  My fortune said I need to stay in one place for awhile.  I guess that is what I am going to do for the next seven months, except for the two trips that we have already planned. I will be going to school, but I also will be trying to sell some properties in order to have some more cash and the potential for some more travel. 





Back in Saka. We did a visit to the family plot. Keiko is doing a great job farming. 





I got a hair cut.   It is a bit shorter that it was. I still need to cut it some more. 
At the okonomyaki restaurant.  It is in a new building so it is all nice an clean.  One of the menu items is just a can of fish with some diced onions.  You have to mix it yourself.

long time coming

Two years ago I agreed to sell a lot so a house could be built. The builder had to get permits and go through a reason use permit process. I was by there this week and the notice sign was installed.  I hope it will start this year.  I went to the property because the tenants of the house next to it had an electrical problem.

magnolia chorale and apartment maintenance

Image
Choir concerts.  This last weekend was busy with two concerts with the magnolia chorale.  On Saturday evening there was a nice gala with food and drinks.  On Sunday we sang at the ascension Lutheran Church for an afternoon concert.  Singing in the chorale is nice.  After I went to the transfer station to drop off an old mattress that the tenants left behind.  When I was on my way home I got a call about water dripping from the ceiling. After dinner I went to check it out.  It turns out the kitchen faucet was leaking.  I said I would return the next day to replace it.  After I went dancing at Century. It was a busy Sunday
