      Yeah, all joking aside it really is. The virus is relatively under control again, but with mass vaccinations a long way away, another wave is the last thing we need.

    He’s a hanami agent but not under cover; he’s between boughs.

    You WILL enjoy the flowers but beware, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvdlghDlmnI (spoiler..It’s a John Otway hit.)

      Haha, he was indeed!

      The flowers might not get you here, but any misdemeanours might well get you into the hanami agent’s little book, and that’s definitely where you don’t want to be.

        I hope you’ve been good then!
        Just for a second I thought that the second image was reversed. I wonder if he plays the mouth organ.

          Oh, I was on my best behaviour. Didn’t want a public shaming!

          Haha, he quite possibly does!

      Cor baby, that really takes me back 🙂 Such an entertainer. And at 68 he’s playing the same town I first saw him in 42 years ago. I recall when he was 50, or was it 60, when asked what he wanted for his birthday he said “another hit would be nice” or something like that 🙂

    So envious.
    Thanks for that lovely slice of blossom and blues.

      You are very welcome. A much more conservative affair this year due to the situation, but the blossoms are as beautiful as ever.
