A building

One night, I looked up at a building.

A Lion and earthquake

I dreamed  a horrible dream.

There were a lot of lions.

I almost be attacked by a lion.

Thanks to the someones help,

I was minutes away from the attack.

...

 I woke up.(About 5 a.m...too early... )

And then the earthquake occured.

I was scared again.

...and the earthquake stopped.

It registered an intensity of 3 on the Japanese scale of 7.

That was a scary morning.

Newborn baby

My friend had a baby.

It's a girl!

Congratulations!

I'm looking forward to see her.

Scones

I'm really into scones.
I cooked scones for my collegue on her birthday.
This time I made the dough from Yogurt.(less sugar)
It has a light texture.

And I thought packaging design.

Setsubun

Today was "Setsubun" that means the end of winter according to the calendar.
I threw a few roasted soybeans inside and outside my house
with crying "Oni-wa-soto, Fuku-wa-uchi!" meaning "Devils out! Good luck in!".

A pretty red goblin might have run away from my house...
