Yes, I want a new one in winter!

This is way cool. Nasa shows off prototype spacesuit for journey to Mars. US space agency Nasa has been showing off the wardrobe essentials for future astronauts looking for a new outfit for their first flight to Mars. Nasa said the Z-2 spacesuit was only a prototype, but elements of it would be incorporated into the suit worn by the first humans to reach the Red Planet. The suit uses light-emitting patches and luminescent wire that could be customised to identify individuals. The "technology" design beat two others with 63% of a public vote of 233,431.

Fine report Metabo Oyaji, and thank you for it!

Marunuma Kogen?

Don't you dip in your natural onsen every day, Chriselle?

A few things were modified, though we didn't have to do much major. He wasn't really moving further on the price though, I took that as far as I could - he was prepared to walk. Since then though he has added a few things as 'presents' things which we had cut, which was good to hear. I'm certain that they'll do a very good job, he has a real attention to detail that I like.

Too many silly muppets in Return of the Jedi.

been drinking more recently. As I mentioned in the bath thread, a beer after a long hot bath is fab.

Well, garden work has started as of today. Clearing up is the first order of business before new things start to be made. Exciting.

I have noticed one thing......drinking more beer since having a bath. Long hot bath followed by a cold beer. Lovely.

Did you order the 100? Looks like they have sold out!

Is that a nice beer? From what I can gather postage is either free or 300 yen as well!

Recently... none. And savings eaten into as well. All gone into house and garden things!

So what they taste like burnt bacon rinds or something?!

Did you change the font, I'm sure it looked more 'gothic' yesterday.

Haha. They seem to be struggling to keep it in the news at the moment don't they.

I just love penguins.

(Can I?!)

The colorful tile thing before you get to the desktop is just stoopid. I wish I could get rid of it!

Wow

Warming up!

Electrician came round today to add a few outside sockets. I was surprised the way he could easily 'add' some outside sockets on the other side of the wall where there are some existing indoor sockets. And can keep the indoor ones as well, it's not an either/or. I had two done, as I was also surprised that it only cost me 14000 yen for everything. It was a mistake to not have any outdoor power in the initial house plan. I just didn't think about it at the time.
