Some newspaper readers are definitely more interesting than other newspaper readers.
On the topic of news, last week my wife got a third all clear after her cancer diagnosis and treatment back in 2015. A result that, along with the obvious joy and relief, means that summer holiday flights have now been bought. So, from today, the usual 3 posts a week will be reduced to a more manageable 1 each Monday. Then, from September 3rd, the usual Monday, Wednesday and Friday updates will resume as normal.

That’s excellent news to say the least! I hope she continues to stay healthy. Please enjoy your time away from this awful heat. It’s 38 here! The only good thing about this heat is that it makes a cold brew even better. Stay cool.
Lee says
Thank you very much. It’s another very promising result.
Cheers. Very similar temperatures here in Tokyo today. Just awful. Hope you get through it ok, and I hope you get through a few beers in the process!
Julien says
Great news it is ! Have some nice long holidays, I believe you (and your wife) deserve them. Beside, leaving the heat is never a bad thing, haha.
Lee says
Thank you so much!
Yes, never experienced consistent, horribly oppressive heat like this in mid-July before, so an escape is doubly good!

Cracking character you have managed to capture there. The jeans are the highlight of the ensemble, though the handbag is a close second.
Brings back a Doh! moment from my past: I bought my wife a handbag similar to that one – quilted leather, gold(coloured) chain strap – by a known brand. When it arrived I had one of those “brain not engaged” moments and opened the box with a stanley knife. Sliced clean through the outer box, inner box, plastic wrap, cloth bag protector and finally the quilting of the bag itself. So I had to order another one sharpish. I did fess up and now she has both, one with slash and one without.
I made a mental note to myself to always open packages with a spoon after that. Slower and messier, but less prone to mistakes as costly as that one.
Excellent news about your good lady wife. Enjoy your break from the heat and work.
Lee says
Yeah, the jeans really are a bit special, aren’t they? Ripped in a very unconventional manner.
Blimey, that was a lesson learned the hard way. Still, at least she has a back-up bag now!
Thank you very much!

Love this one Lee, highlight for me was the purse. Actually the highlight is the good news about your wife, very happy for the both of you.
Lee says
He’s a fascinating fella, isn’t he? A very unique outfit to say the least.
Thank you very much. That’s really kind of you.

Great news about your wife, Lee. If you are coming back to the UK for a break, it’s pretty hot here as well but without the humidity hell.

Lee says
Thanks a lot, Ken.
Back in the U.K. now. Not so hot at the moment, but seems like the warm weather is set to return. And without Japan’s awful humidity, I’m looking forward to it.
