The Week #180

  • ⛩️ We went to a local shrine for Leo's shichi-go-san...and like that, the big event is over. We went to the photo studio, where we rented Leo's hakama, so he could change and so we could pickup the prints from last time. As a thank you we could pick one of a few different gifts, including a free photoshoot.

    We were a bit pressed for time, as we were all dressed up and the likelihood of us getting a decent photo at the shrine were slim, we decided to take some photos. Naturally just the photoshoot was free, we still had to pay for prints (which makes sense...but also makes it feel less like a "gift" and more like an upsell). Be that as it may, I'm glad we did take photos because as it turns out every photo was shot at the shrine was pretty much a dud for one reason or the other.

  • 🧦 I have too many pairs of socks. And yet, I ordered a new pair of nice wool socks from L.L. Bean. These are to replace some cotton socks that I have that appear warm but are in-fact, not so. They're so comfortable and warm. If you haven't ordered yourself a pair of wool socks recently, you should.
  • 🎸 This week marked the 43rd anniversary of John Lennon's death. Coinciding with that, Apple released a new docuseries, John Lennon: Murder without a Trial, which I binge watched. I always get a bit sad this time of year when I think about what could have been and what was taken from the world. I know it's silly, he died before I was born....but the series is well worth the couple of hours of your time.
  • 💈 Leo and I got haircuts at the local barber shop. He has hit hair cut by the person who usually does it and I was across the room getting my haircut eavesdropping. I won't divulge their full conversation, but I'm glad in their conversation about vegetables and primary school, she also told him that tomatoes and other such things he "doesn't like" will appear in school lunches. I can already see see start of a wonder barber relationship between them and I'm excited for them.
