As it's Xmas today, I decided to get up and clean my apartment before opening my presents. Okay, I did the main room. The kitchen is too painful a thought. After opening the presents (sweeties, a calendar, a CD) I had a bath and then went for a walk. I've had my eye on this group of trees I can see from my apartment over the other side of town. There's a red bridge spanning the valley leading down the hill. So today I went to find it.

On the way there I found a set of steps leading up to a temple. The place was deserted - clearly only used in the summer. I took some more photos with my camera phone, but they weren't that great, so I'll take the big camera next time. I then headed further up the hill and found a path leading to a flat area at the top which was full of what seem to be cherry trees. I wandered around checking out the trees and then had a seat in the sun overlooking the '"city" and the mountains beyond. Again, the photos weren't so great so more next time. I was lovely to sit up there with the sun warming my face, the breeze blowing the trees about and the birds squealing in the nearby firs. Best of all, I didn't see anyone the whole time I was up there.

I found a little path cutting under the bridge and found myself traipsing through the back of a hotel on the hill side. I looked up and saw the signs I can see from my apartment.

Today is a lovely sunny one, so much so that I have been able to hang my washing out and leave the window open for the sun to shine directly through. It's nice to have some real air in the apartment for once, not just the aircon. I've seen the eagle hawks flying about and the crows 'cawing', found a bottle of one of my favourite wines, and made a very nice lunch. Tonight I'm going out and suspect that a respectable evening could well turn into drunken debauchery.

Oh, one last picture for you.
