Laura, Samantha & Ashley - thanks so much for coming on the last day before the long summer vacation! 
I'll be off the ground tomorrow night at 23:15 (if everything goes as scheduled, that is!)




We mainly talked about recent news as we see them on TV: A terrible accident at the "love parade" (a huge outdoor music dance festival in Germany) with many fatalities reminding us of the accident some years ago at the Fireworks
event at Akashi, Okura-Kaigan. Another story was about the rescue helicopter crash, where several people died trying to save ONE person.....kind of paradox, isn't it?

Our "riddles & jokes" we enjoyed today:

   

The answer for one of the two riddles is right her (somewhere!)
Also very refreshing, our "Panna Cotta":




Okay, ladies, always thanks so much for your loyal patronage, and I hope to see you all again in a 元気 shape on the
17th of August!

I haven't packed yet..................ahhhhh!

See you, the "Master"
