it's been a while...

since I posted. Between back pain and all else Japan, it's been the usual run-of-the mill. I went to the chiropractor again last week and he did a good job. At a bbq yesterday I played a bit of ball which I shouldn't have done. Woke up this morning not being able to move so stumbled and hobbled to the chiropractor again. He did his job, gave me a "herbal" remedy and I have slept all day long. He told me to lie down for the day and not sit on a chair. So I did. I slept. And slept. If the cycle is broken then it should be okay. I am typing this standing up. If I can sleep, my back will get rest. If my back gets rest, i can sleep. If this cycle is maintained, all should be good.

The last couple of weekends have been pretty relaxed. A bit of birding with Neil, Rob and Aya. Plenty of Green Pigeons, Woodpeckers, Jungle Nightjars, calling Ruddy Kingfishers (still not seen them though), Little, Hawk, and Oriental Cuckoos. A long weekend next weekend. I am off to Tajima with Rob, Mana, and Aya for a couple of nights. Should be fun. I got a 100mm Macro lens for the camera yesterday so hopefully you'll be enjoying some photos of beasties and abstract images soon. Hard lens to work with though. The dof is so shallow.

I hope this finds everyone in good spirits. I am going back to bed for there is more healing to be done and work tomorrow.
