Happy new year! 2008! Holy cow. How time flies.

Wishing you all a fresh year of delight, joy, mischief, adventure, love, travel and satisfaction.

I will probably be leaving Japan this year, so if anyone has plans to come and visit me there, you'd better do it soon! Still haven't decided where I'm going next - anything is possible.

In the mean time, I have a week left in Australia and I'm having a great holiday. Hope you are/did too....

This photo came from The Silver Factory Childrens component of the Andy Warhol Exhibition at the Brisbane Gallery of Modern Art, and features the delightful faces of my nephew Darcy, my dear friend Jackie and her third child Angus and moi. A fabulous photo from a fabulous day!

Leaving Japan???
You will be back; the brilliant sun and happy crowds at Oshogatsu, the powerful colours of the momiji and ginko trees, ohanami beer under the blossoms and the new green leaves of summer. The crowds, the choices, the food, it is pretty hard to beat Martine!
All the best for 2008.

Hi Martine. Happy New Year and a very belated Happy Birthday. I'm glad you're having a killer diller time in sunny Queensland. I copped a pleasent new years eve 44 degree scorcher on the Mighty Murray.

Is your exhibition still up in Tokyo? My friend Maho was interested to take a look.

Don - it's just time to move on. Itchy feet. 5 years is enough.

Grace - great to hear from you, hope all is well!

Dave - actually, I'm thinking of sending you a similar message regarding Paris!

Matty - Yes, the exhibition is still up. Will be for a while! And yes, having a killer diller time. :)

Ha! Well, that would do too...
But you would have to be really fast: I'm out of here (not yet 100% sure where to, but Tokyo's a good contender) by late March...
