Wild weather here, too. Yamanashi has a so-called 120-year snow and has shut down. Snow is 160 cm deep at this old minka - we can't get out. Regardless, I am glad to announce that my new website introducing the sudden mystery of my art and music is now live at http://catrienross.com so I hope you can visit. Congratulations on all your news - a hot chocolate to celebrate sounds perfect right now.
