Hi, Diane.

How's it going?
These days, I've been reading two books on Lucy Maud Montgomery, who, as you know, wrote a famous novel: Anne of Green Gables, which is quite popular even in Japan.
Actually, every year, thousands of Japanese tourists come to Canada to visit the farmhouse where the author used to live in Cavendish, PEI.

Have you ever read the book?
I guess you have.

In real life the author married a clergyman who was suffering from mental illness.
Although the author created the world-famous Anne, L.M. Montgomery was actually living a complicated life that differed from Anne's and that contained untold agonies, anxieties, and depressions.



In any case, this is a good reading experience for me.
As usual, I've written an article about the hidden self of your person.

Don't forget to get a healthy suntan if possible!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...





Have a nice day!

Ciao with a lot of love.

Thanks so much, Kato.
I've read the article:"Inner World."
You're a real teacher, you know?!
Always thinking, always learning, always sharing ...

You were working up north in the government of the Northwest Territories, eh?





So, we were both bureacrats, weren't we?

No wonder we get along so smashingly.
...hope you're enjoying a great deal of sunshine.



I made some raspberry jam yesterday afternoon.
It was such fun!

Try and get to the beach if you have time, and enjoy the sunshine on the English Bay.
But don't spend too much time on fooling around with girls.





Instead, read your favorite book, reclining in the rocking chair under a tree shade on the beach.



Love, Diane ~

Kato, how much did you like the life in Yellowknife?



Oh, marvellous! 　I wish you'd been there!

But you didn't like the cold winter over there, did you?

No, not a bit. 　Except for that, everything looked perfect.

How so?

Well, I show something here. Watch the following video clip.

I enjoyed the wild life and love salmon fishing.





Did you really get this one?



Well..., no, I didn't. A friend of mine caught it while I watched.

What did you do with that salmon.

I created a rock oven.





Wow! Lots of rocks in the hole. 　Is this what you call a "rock oven"?

Yes, it is. 　First of all, I placed woods and some paper on the rocks and put on a fire on them. After completely burning them out, I wrapped up the whole salmon with a sheet of foil, then placed it on the rocks. Finally, covering the pit with earth, my friends and I waited for about half an hour. Then voila!





This is one of the many delights I enjoyed to the stomach up north. :)



Ummm... it must've been delicious.

You're telling me, Diane.　　After the gracious meal, my friends and I watched the northern lights.

How beautiful and mysterious lights!



I wish you'd been up there with me. 　At that time, everybody talked about the "SHOGUN."

So you were in Yellowknife in 1980, weren't you?



Yes, I was. 　Since the memoir came back to me all of a sudden, I've borrowed the SHOGUN DVDs from Joe Fortes Library and watched the drama again.

So, Kato, did you meet Madame Riviera in Yellowknife?

Oh, no, I didn't. 　I met her on the Net.

When?...and where?

I'll show you where I met her.





Are you kidding me? 　This is one of your blog articles, isn't it?



Yes, it is. 　

I see the face of Sylvie. 　Are you saying that Sylvie is Madame Riviera?

Oh, no...Sylvie isn't Madame Riviera.

Kato, I don't like a roundabout talk. Besides, I cannot read the above page in Japanese. 　Just tell me who Madame Riviera is.

Actually, Madame Riviera is hidden behind the above page.

Then bring her up and show her face.

All right. 　To bring her up, I have to click the following green bar on the FEEDJIT list.
