Finally back online after moving house
We only moved about 300 meters, but it was total upheaval and the Internet connection was off until yesterday.
Also, I thought this was going to be the last picture ever from my Lumix, which I accidentally left on the JR train on April 9 while juggling too many bags and talking on the phone during a train change. I made reports at the train station and police station, but gave up after several days of calling the lost and found. Then, last week on the 19th, the Shichijo police called me and said it had been turned in by JR.
They didn’t know why it had taken so long, but it never seemed to match up with either the JR or police reports. It seems that the reason I got it back was that I had written my name and mobile phone number directly on the camera body with a marker. So go and do that now.

Wow, look at the color on those blossoms!
Scary story about your camera. Smart of you to label it.
Made me realize that mine has no markings to identify it at all. Time to find an engraver…
Hello,
I have daily looked at your blog for several months.
I had never dared to write to you.
I cannot well speak and write English.
I am French. I live in Lille, with 200 kilometers in the north of Paris, very close to the Belgian border.
I wanted to say to you that your blog is a source of amazement for me.
I am impassioned by the art and the architecture of Japan.
I idealized Japan and your images and your comments show me the reality of Japan.
I translated my French text into English with google.
excuse me if there are errors.
has soon
Glad to see your back, Nils. Hope everything works out for you and you family with the new place! Ganbare!
I just loved this shot.
Can you imagine having your camera back to you in another country…! In France this would be impossible! Glad Japan is great that way.
By the way it’s a good idea to mark the camera!
Thank’s also fr your pictures.

Hi Nils,
Glad you have finished shifting house. When I saw you last you were walking back and forward between the two places shifting your things. If you see me wandering or cycling around the neighbourhood, please say hello. Also if your wife would like to come to lunch with some other young mothers at my daughter’s house in Iwakura, please get her to email me. We usually try out some British Puddings (not custard) but the next time we meet I will teach them how to make that famous Australian dessert, Pavlova. I would love to say hello and meet her.
Cheers,
Jenice.
For a moment I visualized you picking up the house and physically (on a truck, of course) translocating it! With the size of many houses in Japan that would not be an impossibility (if the roadway is wide enough).
Congratulations on the new home and the camera story. Looking forward to lots more pictures!
Lenny
Hey sweet Nils. Stopped in to say an overdue hello. Angel led me to this website. Hope all is well.
Your old fencing pal, Janelle
