Went to see some trains today at the National Railway Museum. Mindblowingly huge, amazing they could propel themselves let alone pull carriages and freight! Some of the wheels were taller than I am!

Spent yesterday evening making Chinese food, with leftovers for lunch today: twice cooked pork with Pak Choi cooked in stock, wood ear mushroom with chilli, garlic, vinegar and coriander, smoked tofu with celery and peanuts in chilli oil. Quick soup of stock, pickled mustard greens and spring onion.

We had a few days in Kyoto, last visited 20 years ago. Kiyomizu-dera is still astounding, but the highlight for me was the zen garden and bamboo grove at peaceful Shoren-in.
