Smoked Octopus and the Eggs

Great sail today ~ good wind, good company. Smoked octopus and ramen in a force 6 off Enoshima. After some excellent Australian/Italian nosh in a new restaurant by the beach, we ended up in a coffee shop in Kamakura. Got onto films at one point - I have seen a few lately on flights to Europe and back, including the classic Annie Hall. After having an on~off relationship with Annie for several years, they finally split completely. Woody's last lines are an old joke about a guy talking to a psychiatrist:

'My brother thinks he's a chicken'

'OK - bring him in and I'll do what I can to sort him out'

'Well, I would - but I need the eggs'

He says that often relationships are like that - completely irrational, but we need the eggs.


H has very kindly said I can take his dinghy out on Sunday, so he's arranged for me to borrow a wetsuit - 'gaijin size'.
