hooray! the blog is near perfect, i fixed the last bug five minutes ago. i am awesome and deserve some hot soup to celebrate.

happy holidays, dear friends! x

that cat in breakfast at tiffany’s is seriously adorable!

i watched the film for the first time last night and never knew holly golightly had a cat called cat.

cat likes milk and an occasional drink.

every scene with cat in it was a pleasure!

we had lunch at yoshinoya (overcrowded with schoolboys in black sweaters).

the hotel we stayed at was right beside a hospital so we peeked about.

salt-baked quail eggs from the street stalls. the granny wouldn’t let me take a photo of her fantastic-looking cart so i can only show you the eggs…
