Resurrecting the Blog

Its been about 3 months since I updated this blog, which is skirting the edge of `dead blog` territory.

Part of the lack of posting has been time related - I`ve been quite busy lately. Another part has been dog related - since we got the dog we haven`t taken as many day trips as we used to and those were the type of thing I used to blog about here the most so without them, my blog material sort of dried up.

Anyway, I really like this blog so I thought I should post something - anything - to keep it afloat for at least a little while longer!

On the weekend Ena and I had a good day off together, which provided me with a little something to write about. October is a really great month in Fukuoka, the weather is perfect. We had lunch at this restaurant in Tenjin Central Park that is located in a historical building, pictured at the top of this post.
We had been meaning to eat there ever since we moved here 3 years ago but never seemed to find the best opportunity so we just said `screw it, we`re trying this place`. It was quite nice, they have a good lunch set which is reasonably priced. The interior is pretty cool too, very Meiji retro.

After that we cycled over to Ohori Koen where we rented a rowboat and did a half hour spin around the lake.
Ena let me take over the oars after a bit:
Hard to imagine a better place to be than in a rowboat on a pleasant lake in the park on a nice sunny day. All in all a very nice day!

Looks and sounds wonderful! Also, no worries about not updating this blog for a while -- it's completely understandable, especially since you have more than one blog. Anyway, I look forward to your next post -- whenever it's published!

Thanks Bryan! Blogging is indeed a time-draining hobby, isn`t it? I gotta keep this one alive though, it is my namesake after all!
