Tapas
Yokohama seems to have been getting its fair share of tapas bars in recent months. Pu and I went to this one last week Bar Alfonso - substantial but cheap wine by the glass + fantastic mussels (yes I now enjoy a much wider variety of seafood than the dark days). Shame about the football on a wall-sized screen but you can’t have it all. Barracca have also opened a tapas in Motomachi which we have also eaten, drunk and fallen over in.

Wine Explorers
And another reason why I haven’t written much this year is because I’ve been setting up a new wine-tasting group (and blog) for all those in the Kanto area who want to practice talking out of their arse about wine and getting pissed. Please let me know if you wish to join and haven’t already and I’ll add you to the list. This also means that all wine stuff will be on the new blog so no more lovely pictures of bottles here.
Yes, we (or should I say I) am/are back after a very restful two months of blog shirking. Thanks for sticking with us and for your words of encouragement (especially Blueduck). How to start eh? I am sitting here while a very nice man fixes us up with a new sink system in order to make way for our new purchase of a dishwasher. Gone are the days of intense squabbles over who gets their hands soapy. Having a dishwasher is supposed to save us ¥30,000 a year in gas and water bills too! Easy life and saving money – fantastic!
It’s been a very mild winter – so much so that my chocolate brown rose has already started to rot. I haven’t really got a clue how to take care of it though so it will be a miracle if it finally flowers – watch this space. Apart from that I can think of little else to entice you back in to our world with. Got a new bass guitar and still gigging away. Got our text book idea awaiting approval at the publishers and one of my articles has been accepted for publication in a journal (once I’ve written it!) – anyway I hope that’s enough in the way of excuses for not bothering with the blog for so long. I will try to update more regularly from now on so please don’t desert us alltogether. Meanwhile check out the links to our friends’ blogs if you really want to see how one should be kept up.
