His intentional ignorance twards me is hard

 Continuously, I have been intentionally ignored. I am glad that he has been working as usual in the office with nothing bad happened though. 

His attitude implies something to me. It is telling me something. But what is that? What does it mean? Did I hit his anger button? I am taking it seriously about this and thinking about this these days. Actually, it has fully occupied my head since this happened.

I knew now how much I liked him. I wished he was my boyfriend, to be honest. But, one big issue destroys my wish every time. The issue is the age gap, it is huge. it stops me from loving him. I can not imagine how he feels about my age. He unlikely knows my real age. The 21-year gap is too large. 

If he knew it, he would immediately blackout, but now he could have avoided this impact. I do not know whether I will have the opportunity of conversation with him again though.  

If the reason of his unpleasant attitude to me is coming from jealousy, perhaps, it is about a young pretty English man?? He is not....

I will talk later I am sleepy tonight. 

The gifts from Scotland may 2024

 

A bunch of beautiful fabrics

Cottons & Silks. I have been planning what to make with them. It maybe T-shirts and skirts. 

Marmite

Ohhhh,,, What people say is hate it or love it. I want to paste it on the cheese taste. It should be delicious. I can not wait. 

PASTIGLIE PASTILLES- Leon Product of Italy 

The texture is like a pressed powder and the flavour is a lavender. It refreshes in your mouth. I love this.

PEPPERMINT & LAVENDER TEA

I would bring it with me to the office and enjoy tea time!

What she sends for me is beautiful and I appreciate everything. I am planning what to buy for her the next time. 

National holidays in May (called Golden Week) 2024

On 5th May This plant is Iris. Taking a bath with iris leaves on the 5th of May is a kind of Japanese tradition. What older people used to say is, it prevents you from sickness or bad accidents. I love the scent and it brings me relaxation. 

A new neighbour moved into the building where I live.  He should be a Uni. Student and his room is my just upstair floor. 

His mom and he came to say hello to me and gave me a gift. They would be nice people. And the young boy unlikely makes trouble.

My Scottish friend's cat Gigi. He looks clever. my friend said that she would send this parcel to me.  

The next month, June in Japan, we have no national holiday at all it is only Saturdays and Sundays. 

Big sigh...

MUCHA - skirt (printed cotton + polyester)

The fabrics are layered cotton and polyester.

I often see girls wearing organza or tulle materials skirts.  I am also inspired by them. While national holidays (Japan had a long holiday, called GOLDEN WEEK), I was working on making this skirt. 

Wash the fabric once to shrink. 

Stitched the organza's hem edge.

Gathered the skirt's waist area.

I like it! This is better than what I imagined. 

I can not knit a pair of socks

Even though I am good at creative clothing, can not knit underwear or socks. I went for shopping my socks for this Summer. 

I like going out at night and walking up to Landmark Tower Yokohama from my flat. It has been the nicest weather these days in a whole year.  

I often go shopping at 'MARK IS'. I did Last night too. The inside of the building is spacious and clean. I wish I could live nearby. 

Ta-da!

I bought 10 pairs of socks at once.

"You are a crazed woman."

No, I am just preparing for the rainy season!

What is your favourite tea?

いり番茶IRIBANCHA (一保堂Ippodo)

This tea is my recent favourite. Many Japanese tea brands produce Bancha. And The difference is quite subtle among them. What I recommend is obviously different from other Bancha.

一保堂 would be one of the most well-known Japanese tea brands, which provides sophisticated sensed quality teas. Several years ago, my Scottish friend took me to Ippodo Cafe in Ginza, Tokyo. And then, I had this IRIBANCHA the first time.  So, I fell in love.  

I never expected a smoky aroma to a tea. I knew a smoky whisky or smoked cheese. Can you imagine it? I would like to highly recommend such a moody smoky tea. You could buy in famous Japanese department stores on the food floor.

A parcel brought me a joy of late Christmas

My beautiful Christmas gifts arrived a week ago. It brings me huge joy and warms my heart. The parcel once arrived on a Japanese island but was returned to Scotland. The reason was the written address needed to be more sufficient. The residential number specifies my place, and that needed to be included.  The package came to Japan again. My friend generously went again to the Post office. Finally, I received it. I will fill 2 boxes and bring them to the Japan Post office, I promise. 

Her choices are brilliant and exceptionally lovely.  I am going to show you some of the above.

This is what I wanted! I was searching for a tiny mirror that belonged in my bag. Probably It's LIBERTY print on the back. Lovely!

What a beautiful ornament! I want to view it all the time. I can feel the time especially. I love such a gorgeous sensitive artwork. Hung it on the wall before my desk here.

These 2 boxes are already gone. I ate all of them. Both were imaginable taste and excellent. 

But I prefer...

True honey bar. Does it prevent pins from rusting? 

Included all other wonderful things, I recognised that I am so privileged. The late Christmas gifts brought me a joyful Christmas moment again.
