So I have a new camera, right?
新しいカメラを買ったよね。
新しいカメラを買ったよね。
Which was bought with the thought that it would be great to be able to take snapshots and video footage with ease, especially at Weechan events, right?
Weechanのイベントで楽に写真とビデオが撮れると思って買ったよね。

Right.
そうだった。
Except when you can't work it. There was just such an event on Friday for the first time: Weechan's school Spring Concert. I capitalise to show honest respect for Takako-sensei, for not having a nervous breakdown controlling the raw talent before her (OK, that might have been a tad cynical, but I do think T-sensei does a great job). It wasn't the talent that was raw, just a few notes here and there, but all in all a nice show if you are a parent, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, not one decent photo nor video did I manage to take, despite repeated efforts, before the batteries ran out. Yes that's right. Half-way through Weechan's stellar performance of "movement"- whch was the second number of the night. Luckily I have a chance to see examples of this movement in the livingroom on a daily basis, so all is not lost. Tally ho. I wish I could have shown you one of the seniors doing his "Somewhere over the Rainbow" though. It really was quite good- maybe not as good as he thinks it was, but hey, he's 17 with a guitar and a God among the senior girls!
問題は一つだけ：使い方が分かりません。
この間Weechanの学校の春のコンサートがあった。新しいカメラをもっていっても、一枚もいい写真が撮れなかった。しかも、Weechanのすばらしい出番の最中に電池が切れた。
まあ、親バカしか楽しめないような小さいコンサートですけど、せっかくだったので、アイドルの高校生（女子高生の中だけでね！）の「オーバー ザ レーンボー」を見せたかったなー。
Once again I tried, on the girls night out, but I really can't show you many of the pix I took from there either, so I am respectfully borrowing the ones taken by Tee - thansk T!
土曜日もカメラを持って出かけて、もう一度挑戦。
まだまだ使えこなせないで、写真は全部ダメ。
ですから、Tさんの写真をお借りしまーす！

Italian dinner at the restaurant where we had our Wedding party (number 2) almost 9 years ago.
This time I wasn't dressed as a pink bunny or accompanied by a raccoon with large testicles though, so not (quite) so conspicuous.
もうすぐ９年前結婚式の二次会で使ったイタリア料理店でおいしい食事でスタート！
今回はピンクのウサギのカッコをしていなかったから、比較的に目立たなかった。
Next place: it may look like we were in the back store cupboard of a factory selling knocked-off videos, but the atmosphere in this retro bar is actually quite nice, as are the desserts!次：
光のせいか？ちょっと汚く見えるけど、レトロのバーでのデザートとカクテールはおいしかったよ。
Then on to Karaoke - is this the latest way to stop the swine flu??!!
ブタインフルエンザ防止？？
ブタインフルエンザ防止？？
Disinfected microphones.
久しぶりに行ったカラオケで消毒されたマイク！
「ガールズ ジャスト ワナ ハブ ファン！」だって。そうさしてもらった！So we did!
Til 3am!
午前３時まで起きたのは久しぶり！
Susan Boyle? Bring it on!
Note to self: Michelle Obama may have the right to bare arms, but I really don't!
次のアメリカンアイドル？？
自分にメモ：もうちょっとジムで結果が見えるまで、袖無しはやめましょう！
