Yesterday, I visited cherry-blossom viewing with my wife according to annual custom. Cherry trees fully blossomed on this weekend, so today is best day for viewing. It was warm in this week, but it was a little cold and gloomy yesterday. Anyway we enjoyed beautiful cherry-blossoms.
This year we enjoyed not only cherry-blossoms but also the special Japan style cafe that is named RAFU. This cafe is not only a cafe but also a gallery, and it's parallel establishment with Japanese green tee shop. So we enjoyed a green powdered tea that called Matcha. Also it's really Japanese taste.
As a matter of course I made a photo album. Please enjoy spring in Japan.

For something completely different,
I used the NeoOffice to make a budget schedule sheet for my wife after a long interval today. The version of the NeoOffice I used was v1.1. Before starting operation, I checked newest version of the NeoOffice with a sudden thought. Then, I found the NeoOffice v2.1 has been released ! I went straight to downloading it. The user interface of the new NeoOffice is like a real Cocoa application! and it supports Office 2007 Word documents and Excel macros!
Great job!!!

It's very short season to enjoy cherry blossoms. It's almost 1 week even if it's long. Now the cherry has been changed to only green leaf. No one enjoys it usually.
But Imamatsu-shisho who is great master of RAKUGO performer invited me to enjoying green cherry viewing at Ueno. Of course it's a kind of RAKUGO performer's joke mind. (Also the cherry blossoms had scattered)
However, Imamatsu-shisho had another plan that is to see Downtown Museum near here.
The lifestyle of the downtown in Tokyo from 1920's to 1940's are being displayed in Downtown Museum.
The scene of the RAKUGO story is laid at this generation. So Imamatsu-shisho has lots of knowledge about this. We had special explanation of master during seeing in Museum. Of cause, it was very interesting.
Afterwards, we enjoyed ourselves drinking the beer and Japanese sake under the green cherry tree. Needless to say that there were no party like us.

There are some parks where cherry blossoms are beautiful near my house. I strolled through the my town to enjoy the cherry blossoms viewing with my wife.
The weather was really nice for enjoying cherry blossoms and we certainly enjoyed spring.
