May 14th
Life: Took a break for a couple of weeks. My Mum passed away, so I went back to the UK for the funeral. It was great to see my Dad, Sister, Aunt, and Uncle. Back in Japan for now.
Updated photo: My sister took a photo of me in the UK. Seeing as I don’t keep many, I updated the about page photo to keep it real.
Animated videos: Started adding one or two small animated videos to liven up a couple of posts. More are on the way.

On Repeat 🎧
I doubt if anyone cares what an older guy listens to. Either way, I like to post recently enjoyed music here!
Currently Playing 🎮
Still jumping into Apex Legends when I make the time. The current season 30 “Marked” meta is good.
Still Obsessing Over 🏍️
Still thinking about the Yamaha Niken GT. On my recent trip back to the UK, I noticed a regular bike meetup in West Bay near Dorchester, but no Nikens there. I still quietly hope I get one eventually.
