There is magic in the air

Last week I had a vacation, which was wonderful. At the beginning I saw the movie 'Ratatouille', which was very worthwhile. As far as I’m concerned it has earned its rightful place amongst the rest of the brilliant films created by Disney and Pixar.

Last week also saw Drachenfest, and the hasty preparations I needed to make for it. I spend most of my time behind my sewing machine, but unfortunately was unable to finish all I had wanted to make. I had managed to complete several new undergarments, but did not manage to complete a new kimono.
Drachenfest itself was a lot of fun, even though I got stuck making noodles and tea for the rest a lot. I spend a lot of time reading haiku’s and quietly contemplating existence and the kami, and greatly enjoyed my surroundings and the people around me. To all the Yoshida that end up reading this: thank you for another great experience.
Most notable of events was on the fridaynight. Although I am not sure how appropriate it would be to discuss the events on my lj, I want to say it impressed me very much.
Now the time has come however for my maiko(apprentice geisha) Gina to evolve a little. Up till now she has managed to evade all public displays of skill, part due to avoidance and part due to circumstances that always managed to prevent tea ceremonies that she had agreed to. She has found herself a very solid reason to change that now, and I am looking forward to playing that.

For a larger update on the events at Drachenfest you can read sna 's livejournal.

When we returned home on Sunday both Sander and I were very exhausted, and yesterday was mostly spend doing nothing and recovering. Today however Jo and Kelly have been over, which I enjoyed greatly. This especially so since I have been feeling a little isolated in Krimpen, and I always love seeing the both of them.

Tomorrow it’s time for work again, and for planning ahead. I have walls to paint, stuff to move, an EE party to attend, games to play and a birthdayparty to plan. And I am going on vacation early september and classes are going to start around the same day… Busy times
