This morning I dug out my bike from the garage where it stayed for the last 5 years... It is now a ruin, no surprise. So I will attempt a restoration of it. First It took me 2 hours to disassemble it (lots of stuff were/are stuck), but at least the good part with an "old" bike is that only few simple tools were needed. Considering its state now, I think I am even going to try to sand and repaint the frame. Not much to lose at this point. That will be a very long process... Maybe an update in a few months he he.

This time of the year! I installed the koinobori with the help of my little engineer. Bamboo and blue koi from grand-parents. We also added a new red one (after 5 years the previous ones were destroyed). Then finally we had our first bbq at home! (The goal was not to burn the koinobori with the bbq ;-)

It is often raining during the sakura blooming season around here, but this year was very good and we could enjoy it, notably in our neighborhood of Obi and at the Shiibae park (where tsutsuji 🌺 where also in full bloom)

First of the year, kind of gloomy day and flat, but just good to bring Jules on the board. Next time I will try to push him alone on small waves.

Happy early bird boy sand castling on the beach of a Nichinan surfing spot. Then we all went picking some bell peppers at @sunnys.farm (last week we picked some corn from them too).

Building castles made of sand at Kojima beach. The island behind me in the video is protected and inhabited by local macaques.

There is no mistake. At Muchang and Chikurin place we are still in 1970 or so :-) Which suits me perfectly!
@yawara_ya is one of my favorite places. In their own style, they do the best pizza. We spent a great day. Good food, good drinks, and good music (when I am not playing 😅)

We have a visitor this morning!
Check @canae_nakayama post to see it if it made it to the wall, I was out of storage 😅
Also if you are bored, check my newly created account @obi_base where I am sharing a mix bag of things like my home office, some japanese houses interior, discoveries of Obi, all in a Tokoro George spirit if that makes sense.
I am using these hashtags overthere :
