I celebrated Valentine's Day marathoning movie/television adaptations of the works of Jane Austen with
nekonezumi,
akahannah,
lizstarsky and
later_uk. Pictures will come at a later date. ^_^
In the meantime, in honour of the snow that may or may not fall tonight, here are some pictures from a couple of weeks ago, when I awoke to a very unusual sight.
On the evening of the 1st of February, the heavy rain turned to sleet that turned to heavy snow. And it actually stuck! The next morning, the sun was out and everything looked sharp and clear and bright.
Right outside my front door...
Behind my building...
Down my street...
On the plum blossoms...
In Inokashira Park...
Later that day is when I went to have the mole removed from my back (pictures of that are also forthcoming!), and this was near the hospital. There was still snow, after four in the afternoon!
And here is the vending machine that caused me to squee:
Vegetables that give their own change! Oh, Japan. <3
In case anyone was wondering about my back, there is now a hole in it, where the mole used to be. It's smaller than the mole was, since it's mostly healed, but the skin hasn't closed up completely yet. It'll probably take a few more days, maybe a week. It doesn't hurt at all (good!) and I can take normal showers again, and apart from covering it up for ballet class (went back tonight after over two weeks away, let's see how Inui-sensei's new stretching exercises leave me feeling tomorrow! XD), I can go about my life as though nothing had happened.
