I accept your theme usage anyway :smiley: - actually, I like entries that think outside the norm, or that use a hobby or interest.\n\nEdit - had the theme been 'Magic' or 'Decay' I was going to use photos from my Pendle walk on saturday and use those for something + witches. Wrong theme.\n\nSadly, despite going to Japan, and having all kinds of phrase books, I may have forgotten it all...  :frowning2: ","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Kodiqi","author_uid":"1027525","time":"2018-08-15T03:02:35Z","epoch":1534302155,"modified":1534302155,"text":"Thanks, I learnt some stuff!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Trevor Hayes","author_uid":"1082288","time":"2018-08-15T06:41:22Z","epoch":1534315282,"modified":1534315402,"text":"Hmm, I need to work on 7 and 8 kanji recognition.
