Watercolours Everywhere

 We had a nice restful day just pottering from cafe to cafe via the odd shop - I do like iPads; must be loosing my  grip on my wallet! A visit to the Ueno Royal Museum which had a Tokyo waterclour exhibition - a huge number of paintings most of which were worth hanging; some traditional others contemporary in technique. A good few hours in the cool and looking at some really lovely works.

The vast sum of 160 Y took us by the Ginza Line to Asakusa where we indulged ourselves by visiting two super markets, buying enough grub for an army (a small private army of four) and - yes, we have no self control - a light repast at Mr Donut!

Now we are filled to the brim with fresh food and sashimi so it's time to turn on the lunatic Japanese TV and sit goggle-eyed wondering what the Devil we're watching ...
