We had a great ‘birthday weekend’ in Atami. I was supposed to be in surgery again for the Main Event – yegadz I hear ye cry : how can he STAND it : exactiy ) :: so we came two and a half weeks early; the very day the same as Britney Spears’ and the death of the Marquis De Sade.
I just wasn’t ready, after being mauled by the scalpel twice already this year, so am going for the final chop in January instead.
We stayed in our favourite hotel, whose room resembles a lighthouse and where all the senses can breathe.
We went to familiar places and restaurants, but also to new haunts, including the Trick Art Museum high up on the mountain by Atami Castle: I haven’t had such childlike, silly and innocent fun in a very long time.
Perfume : d was wearing Electimuss Puritas; I Hermes Vetiver Tonka.
We were also road testing Puredistance’s releases from this year – Divanche and Ysayo – both very good – reviews to follow, and both enjoying a step away ( though the crowds, this time domestic tourists rather than the foreign hordes in Kamakura ) were slightly stupendous.
Cheers.
What a fantastic experience. Those pictures are amazing, and so full of fun. You did the right thing postponing your op – you can build up your strength and enjoy life in the meantime.
Thankee
I mean it was actually quite painful – and it was very high up on the mountain top after a ropeway funicular – and I shouldn’t have been so casual chavtastic, didn’t quite think it through and my physio tomorrow will undoubtedly be omg, how swollen is your knee ? – still don’t know if the whole thing has worked and you can see how weird my leg looks in the tatami room picture but we had SO MUCH FUN; ate such amazing food; and I can only ultimately count my lucky stars xx
Laughter and fun both bring relaxation and healing of overworked bones and outraged temperaments. Have a good time and enjoy yourselves, not forgetting one most important sense, that of the Nose c.s
Never – ALWAYS total consciousness of that !
Loving the surreal aesthetic; it’s exactly the mood Scorpio season calls for.
Yes at times it was a bit discombobulating – sometimes just what you need
Love all the photos! Thanks for sharing.
Thought they might be fun to see
Almost Daliesque!
I did note your leg is still swollen, ex-nurse, old habits die hard.
Sometimes such childlike, naive fun is exactly what the doctor orders. Wards off the Black Dog & creates happy memories to ward it off in future
You’ve got to be psyched up for surgery eh? You both look very handsome anyway! And that day out looks like just what the doctor ordered in the meantime 🙂
It was !
