Shichi-go-san, part I




The girls got to live out their dream yesterday - not the one involving moving to Tokyo Disney Sea - but to be proper little princesses for the 7-5-3 festival. At least, that's what we told them to keep Emma happy (she had a temper tantrum in the morning at home, declaring she was not going to wear a kimono). I think you might agree from the pictures, we're glad we convinced her royal highness to do the business.

By the way, on Sunday, I'm running a half-marathon round the lake near my house. You can still sponsor me here. Why should you?
  • Reason #7: What with the global financial meltdown, money's not worth anything anyway.

Very pretty! We're glad Emma got over her temper tantrum! We well remember visiting shrines like the one pictured. Perhaps we will again...

Oh you are a lucky man Mr Sherriff. Such beautiful girls.
Amazing colours those kimonos.

She's got the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus on the first page. Obviously a lovely little Californian hippy chick that one. Take it easy. Love and Peace. Mr Drums

Sorry it's iamthechildofthemoon.blospot.com
Talking of Rock 'n Roll (we like it like it yes we do), I'm working on an electro remix using the slash riff from Sweet Chile I mine.. Cool huh. Found another great guitar sample too on Sunday: "Come as you are" by Nirvana.. Could be a double A side :)

Best of luck with the marathon. You're supposed to run it, not eat it LOL J

Good grief. Was that a young Rod Stewart in there as well?
