Whilst in Japan I procured 3 new Pocket Squares, they are all cotton and not silk, but all are made in Japan. The Black and White squares are 53x53 CM and the Poppy flowers is 50x50 cm The photos following the squares are of them folded into a Peacock Fold

Sometime FaceAche pops up so amazing memories. This was me making banana bread for the entire ship as the Chefos were about to throw away bananas that had started to Brown. 10 loaves later and everyone that wanted some got some. https://www.facebook.com/share/1HkoTGiXQA/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Not sure if anyone noticed there was not post from me yesterday, however I did have surgery on my right hand little finger. The first 4 photos were from yesterday with what I wore to the Hospital being black Jeans and a Grey Shirt, plus I also had my nice thick Grey Shawl Neck cardigan. Man when they put nerve blocker in my entire arm an it became a useless limb I had to laugh at how it flopped around. Plus to get dressed again I had to use my other had (and a nurses assistance) to pick it up and put it in a shirt sleeve. You just don't realise how heavy a limb can be until you pick one up that has now assistance. Photo 5 is what my bandage looks like and will remain until next Thursday to give the surgical cut time to knit. The cut goes from the lowest part of the pinky (the Knuckle) up to the next knuckle as they checked and freed up any debris and caught tendons. The good news is that it is no where near as much pain as the break and it is basically a cut. The remaining photos are just a comfortable outfit that is easy to put on and has less buttons to manor or around to get dressed. Plus it does show I am not “always” in a suit.
