		<title>How Did I Spend St. Patrick&#8217;s Night?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By not going to any Irish pubs. On St. Paddy&#8217;s night Irish pubs in Kyoto are generally full of very loud and drunk young American men  &#8211; and frankly that doesn&#8217;t appeal (no offense intended to all you quiet, mature American types). So I went to Joao instead to try out some of Koji&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Family Photos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some family photos from Britain and Ireland&#8230; My dad had two funerals, one in the church he attended for 43 years in Middlesbrough and one back in his home parish of Skerries before being buried in the family grave at Lusk. As you can see from the photos from the reception &#8211; I have a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Daddy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My father, Richard Joseph Lambe, passed away peacefully on Tuesday February 16th. He was a quiet, hard-working man, a keen gardener and his greatest achievement remains his family; five children and three grandchildren. All of his children were able to say goodbye to him before he went and at 92 years old he had a good [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lazy Sunday Afternoon&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a few snapshots from last Sunday. We were too late for the antiques market but we had a bit of a stroll around Toji&#8217;s temple grounds anyway.

Then on into town for a light meal at Vanilla (which you can read more about here).

We stayed there for a while and had a bit of a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Company You Keep&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s &#8220;this month&#8217;s word&#8221; as posted in all the classrooms around my school:

善き友があり善き仲間と
ともにあることはこの聖なる
道のすべてある


yoki tomo ga ari yoki nakama to
tomoni aru koto ha kono seinaru
michi no subete aru
My co-teacher mumbled something about it probably being from some sutra or other, but he basically had no idea. It is obviously old though. Notice the old fashioned よき [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where the Wild Things Are</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where the Wild Things Are is quite a good movie to watch right after you&#8217;ve had a row with someone. Makes you feel very very silly indeed. Quite unlike Maurice Sendak&#8217;s original picture book in tone, the movie explores the mood-swings of childhood; the high points of excitement (snowball fights) , the slumps into depression [...]]]></description>

		<title>Get MILK</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I rented this one at the weekend. I figured the subject matter and inevitably sad ending would make this movie heavy and depressing but ultimately the story of Harvey Milk is a positive and inspiring story of a life full of meaning and purpose. On his birthday in 1970 Harvey Milk says to his new [...]]]></description>

		<title>Satellites &amp; Meteorites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I watched this on DVD last night. It appears to have won lots of awards. Well deserved. This is a gentle romantic fantasy from Ireland about two coma patients who have met only in their increasingly bizarre dreams&#8230; and then fall in love. I especially liked it when they suddenly began speaking in Japanese (funny [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Best Horror of the Year Volume One</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few years I&#8217;ve gotten into the habit of buying The Year&#8217;s Best Fantasy and Horror as December approaches. It&#8217;s a great big fat hunk of a book, about 40 stories and poems, and lots of chewy meat and potatoes in there. I always enjoy it. It&#8217;s reliably really good. So I thought [...]]]></description>
