Monday 2018

Hooray, I like it.
On New Year’s Eve we stepped out at 2pm intending to celebrate in broad daylight. It was very cold but bright and we can see people’s faces above the dark outerwear and below the dark headwear. Bright spots.
First a lunch and we went to Sakawa Coffee. I ordered the Japanese Breakfast which turned out to be like having a little art for lunch.The dark brown tray was backdrop and frame. A triangular  piece of grilled mackerel glistened in a shallow curve of white ceramic. Still in white ceramic was a daub of salad, green and red. A tea-stained soft boiled egg beside round slices of  salmon-coloured sweet potato sat on a flat square piece of quiet ceramic. Then there was the murky miso soup in an earthy red lacquered bowl. Lastly in the top corner was a mound of snowy rice. We have enough to cross the threshold into 2018.
Go forth win love.
