Of course I'll gladly patch you up each time you need it, though I hope it won't be necessary too often. Uhm, Genji-san, please put the chopsticks aside, you don't need them for drinking tea ... ;)

I am sorry for delaying the whole party, all the more as I have enjoyed your great posts very much! *applauds* It is always an amazing experience when history is suddenly infused with vibrant life and takes wing. Suddenly there are colours and scents in the Western Market and the Gardens! *S*

A good journey to us all, travellers and observers alike.
