Weddingu

We spent the rest of the time watching the beautiful wedding ceremonies held in different parts of the park. The bride got real special attention all the time, and everyone was very happy, even though few smiles can be spotted in the group photo.

Here, fishie fishie...

The koi fish in the pond were of pretty impressive size. We spent some time playing with them, didn't have anything to feed them with, but they seemed nevertheless interested in people.

More from the park

No comments. Pictures of the nice pond in the Happoen.

Happo En

Various views of the wonderful Happo park with its cherry blossom.

Kimono

While the weddings were ongoing all around us, we kept posing with the nice trees and the kimono ladies.

Bonsai maturi

After the lunch, we took a stroll in the nice park and witnessed ongoing wedding ceremonies. This park is known for its many chapels, and many people get married here. There was a display of old bonsai trees, some of them a couple of hundred years old. I was very impressed.

Sakura lunch

Ayako invited me out to Sakura lunch for my birthday last weekend. It was a beautiful day and the Sakura trees were in bloom. The lunch was in Happoen near Meguro station. I enjoyed it a lot. :)

Football

One day we let Sumomo out in her exercise ball while her cage was being cleaned and of course this led to great appreciation among the feline family members. Tora and Chubby initiated a friendly match of soccer. Not sure who won though.

Watching TV

We discovered some days ago that Tora and Chubby can see the flat screen TV, as they were chasing the small men around the screen in some action scene in a movie, and looking behind the TV to check where all the people came from.
So we rented a DVD with cats only on it and voila, it can work as baby-sitter for them. Tora is very very interested in the TV, especially if things move around the screen fast. Chubby is more interested in chasing the mouse cursor on my laptop.

Portrays

A couple of nice cat pictures I took the other day when they were looking at the walls and stuff. They are real beautiful.

Chilling out

Yup, they are best friends now, Tora-chan and Chubby-chan. Good thing too because when I am working and not at home, I don't need to worry about them getting bored or depressed. :)

Peace?

Jag har märkt att min blogg läses av många nationaliteter... så nu skriver jag på engelska istället för det mindre språket svenska som bara talas av en handfull människor :)
Tora has now come to realize that Chubby is here to stay. They even share Tora's favorite basket. Still, from time to time one of them wakes up and takes a bit bite of the other one and they start to fight, but soon they fall asleep in each other's arms again. It is very very kawaii and I just love to see them sleep like this together. Although, I have to wake them up because if they sleep too much during the day, they will be running and playing around during night and I won't get any sleep.
