cucumber

i had my camera at the supermarket today and couldnt resist this.just what you want for valentines day right? heart shaped cucumbers.......koichi actually loves cucumber especially pickled.the thought should stop there.i wont buy a innocent cucumber forced into being something else and then further torment it by pickling it.

Hana Hana

little hana and her new friend that her obaachan bought for her after insisting on their similarity.....they both squeek..
today i completely exhausted us both by travellling across town to take back my new coat as the button fell off. only after i unsuccessfully tried to swap the coat for a new one as the button cannot be replaced did i realise how small a button is in comparison to how tired i became.i dont care the button is missing. our energy is far more important. buttons are sooooo small.
