Re-revisited again

Re-visiting Japan was so good we're doing it again, in a new improved version, and I'm reviving this blog by popular demand (thanks, both of you).
The holiday preparations have left me needing a hoilday, so I'm very happy to have made it to the airport lounge, champagne cocktail in hand.
Even happier that Jas has made it safely to Paris, to commence her semester sojourn at La Sorbonne university. We farewelled her at Tullamarine on Friday night while the terrorists were still at large, and are relieved the situation is resolved for now, but remain aghast at the loss of life and attack on free speech. Je suis Charlie.
