Today is a momentous day: my fiancée and I adopted our second dog. His name is Pika, and he is a Papillon dog.

Pika is a nine week old puppy, and he just arrived home today. Spent the evening introducing him to Diffie, our miniature poodle.

We are all incredibly happy.

One image she had on display in a shelf behind her, together with the albums she had, reminded me of artwork from "Poison Elves", so I was intrigued. Just checked their page and it's artwork for exactly this song and available on a shirt! :D Now I'm waiting for it to hopefully arrive.

• Photo from NFD's bandcamp merch shop. A black t-shirt with a white print. The bands logo on the top, at the bottom in handwriting "When The Sun Dies" and the print shows an upright panel with drawing of a long haired man in a long coat, behind him in the distance a church, the sky is dark and the sun is only visible as a corona.

Thanks to Jane Wilkes I now have a new band to listen to. She made a video, talking a bit about the band (which has members from Fields Of The Nephilim) and showing the new merch she purchased. Been having this album on repeat and the first song is stuck in my head.

currently BBC World is running & rerunning a clip of some retired COL asserting the PRC balloon has been somehow made to hang over a US target. you can put them & even maneuver them to where the prevailing winds are likely to take them somewhere near some earth-bound target, but you "can’t turn around and go the other direction; you can never go upwind in the balloon. You’re always going to be moving with the atmosphere that surrounds it." moving...

Fell down a little bit of a rabbit hole trying to find out more information about a musician. Turns out they used an alter ego inspired by their grandmother in the song I heard.

The rabbit hole eventually led me to this pretty little song. Suitable for falling asleep or waking up to I think. Rosie Doonan's "Flight of Birds":

Saw this on a touch-order panel; “牛皮” took me by surprise, as it literally means “cow skin”…not something I’d expect wrapping a いちご大福 (ichigodaifuku - strawberry wrapped in mochi)

Turns out, this term originates from when the mochi coating for the dessert was imported from Tang China, so called because it resembles the smoothness of cow skin (??). In #Japan, usually the homophone kanji 求肥 is used instead because of Buddhism…with a literal meaning of “ball fat” lol

#Yakiimo, roasted sweet potatoes, are still sometimes sold oldschool; from the back of a truck moving slowly down the street, blaring the nostalgic “yakiiiiiimo oiisshiiimooo” (roasted sweet potatoes….tasty sweet potatoooes)

With the modernisation of #Japan, hawkers, street food stalls, etc have mostly disappeared from the streets of #Tokyo (I don’t even remember the last time I saw a street ramen vendor). Hopefully these guys stick around, even though it may be a fire hazard 😅
