The espresso machine is calling. I guess it is feeling neglected. I have not had a coffee since Thursday morning last week. I thought it would be a good idea to go without for at least a week just to see if it would make any difference to the way I feel etc.
So far I have noticed a difference. It has been easier to get up in the morning and generally I'm more relaxed / calmer.
Last week Yuki-san paid a brief visit to Wellington. She was the sound engineer for the kapa haka group at the expo in Japan last year. For her last night my old flatmate Michael and I organized a typical kiwi winter roast. We had roast beef and lamb, kumera, yams, Maori potatoes, beans and of course lashings of gravy and mint sauce. Oh and yes apple crumble for desert, the meal pretty much sent Yuki off to sleep, but I think she really did enjoy it.
Here is the beginnings of a corset that I'm having made. I imported some steel boning and a steel busk for it. Thinking now about not having a centre busk but maybe sides that zip closed so that I can have a contrasting front panel with Chinese/Japanese characters on it.
