A lovely dinner (this was some of the starters...)with Sarina and family.....

And Keat was rather partial to the large pink prawn that I gave him with a box full of other mixed lures (Mia plays with the squidgy 3d stickers Paula send her).....

Will you have chance to wet a line while over there then Giles?

[Giles]

Unfortunately not.....

I had to ask Google what „to wet a line“ means 🫣

[goosehd]

@Chap ...it means to play with your rod for hours on end.

Looking like some great weather! The Seto is such a beautiful sight. I hope to return to Kojima eventually. How is the Japanese language aspect of things for you two? Excited to hear what developments come out of this trip for IH.

@Giles my favorite part is the greasy parchment and old ass sheet pans in that cafe they happily display on. They’ve made a roll or 2 thousand.
