Sorasu's super sumo show

The sumo show went really well. Here's my performance:

All in red

Quite a sight as the special show was performed. Today is a normal show directed by Yoneyu, theme is sumo, kimono colour is blue. I'm wearing a snowflake kimono I knocked up from a FallnAngel one I won...

Special show tonight

For Hiroko san's birthday. 3 p.m. at the pavillion. Wear red...

Terrfic show by Okaasan

Performances were a diverse mix of styles, good crowd, and nice tips. Ichimaru played an Erhu that was enchanting... I wore the snow kimono and told 200 year old Issa snow haiku.

Okaasan directs tonight

Okaasan is directing the Little Yoshiwara show tonight. Theme is open so I'll use my Issa snow haiku performance that was backup for the show last week. And will wear my snow kimono...

Nice new location

Location was new. A great show, though small crowd.

Coming of age show today

Geisha Yoneyu is directing the show today with the theme of coming of age. I've got an story lined up... Green kimono for the show. New venue today as there's a referb going on at our Saturday joint...

Polish show

Ina chan organized a show for Polish folks last night. Very successful and appreciated by a new audience... Yoneyu and Ichimaru performing again. Is there anybody else to help?

Lots of good comments from show.

Nice to get some thank yous after stepping in to save the show. Yay me.

Snow show was a beauty

Streaming music by Yoneyu. A perfect 1 hour show. Stories from Suzuharu, Ichimaru, and Yoneyu all with a winter snow theme. I had 3 snow makers in the roof of the stage, hehe. probably a bit OTT but it looked kinda neat. 500$L tips so a good night for us brits...

Director needed for Wednesday show

I could be up for this one... and have got the gig. Theme will be winter. I'll do Issa haiku about snow if there are not enough performers... Photo is us waiting for the gig.

Sensei meeting back on the agenda

We had a meeting last night to set the direction for the new year...

Infinite loop in ATI

Blue screened this morning so lost any chats, grrrrrrrrrrrr...

New 1$L kimono from Ichigo

Quite a neat little kimono in dark purple for just 1$L.

Will miss the show tomorrow.

Yoneyu is directing Saturday'sshow. I'll be out.Maybe next week...

Rain means snow is melting...

Kids are finally back to school

Grey skies but no snow

The forecast snow did not show up.Might have to go to work soon...

Snow last night and more this morning. W@H day for most!

Snow coming our way...

Looks like it will start snowing this afternoon and all day tomorrow so I'm off home early and will work at home tomorrow. 44 days left to retirement....

Found my FLICKR id for lezlie

Doing some tidy up over the weekend I finally found my id for Lezlie's flickr photos. Last updates were November 2008 so there is a bit of catchup to do. http://www.flickr.com/photos/25089970@N07 Have started catching up and have blown Januaries limit for downloads. More coming on Feb 1st...

Bummer, picked up a cold...

Don't feel like doing much!

Ice scraping car window day!

So rare to get ice in Southsea. Was -0.5C this morning...
