I have an interview in two hours for a job I would really like to get. Don't want to jinx things so I won't mention details of where the job is. Not the most lucrative post but would be a lot of fun, I think.
I was remembering a moment from Japan this morning. I was wandering around Tokyo with my camera looking for anything interesting when I heard the most beautiful chanting/ singing. The source of the sound was inside a nearby temple. I went to the doorway and stood just outside out of people's view but with a clear sight line of what was happening inside. It was a Buddhist funeral service and a group of monks were chanting very beautifully in unison. Neat moment.
I will be buying a season pass to this little spot next year: http://grousemountain.com/
I baked cookies in an actual oven the other day. Double chocolate. With milk. It's the little things that make it nice to be home.
