Personal news about my family.
This week my grandmother is celebrating an astonishing double Pearl anniversary. That’s 30 years of marriage, twice! Once upon a time …there was a beautiful young Italian girl named Liliana, who came to England, met a handsome young man called Jack, whom she married and spent the next 30 blissful years with. What’s better than one pearl? Two pearls! For most people, that would be enough. Every girl’s dream of […]
Summer in Japan gets extremely hot, with temperatures all but touching 40 degrees in the Aichi and Gifu region. That means it’s time to shave some heads! Remember these gentlemen? Well, here’s what mummy did to us! Rikuto didn’t seem too bothered about his new hairdo, or lack thereof, but for me it was quite a big decision. I’ve had the same hairstyle all my life, and the one big […]
It’s been a whole year since Mami was whisked off to hospital in an ambulance as Rikuto made a rather dramatic entrance into the world. Boy, they sure grow up fast! We took the little “Person of Continents” to our local shopping center to have a really cheapskate party in front of the birthday party goods in the toy section. He then went for a ride in a flashy, red […]
Here’s another installment of Ramsay Ramblings so you can keep up with all the exciting happenings in my neck of the woods… Guns in Japan? Maybe so… In response to the shocking attack in Akihabara over the weekend, some people were calling for guns to be made legal. I don’t know what the current laws are regarding firearms in Japan, but I was surprised to see this sign at my […]
As promised, here is a collection of photos we had taken a couple of weeks ago, when Rikuto was about nine and a half months old. We think they are great, and his family in England will love these. If you like, you can find me on Twitter at @nick_ramsay. I’d love to hear from you!
I haven’t posted a video of Rikuto since we went to the park to see cherry blossoms, and that was over a month ago! Since then, the little guy has passed the 9-months-old mark, and is a chunky 10 kilos! Here are some clips from the last few weeks: If you can’t view the video, you can watch it here on YouTube. I also have a playlist of Rikuto videos […]
Hello everybody. Daddy says I can write on his blog. He thinks that at my age (8 and a half months) I should learn to touch type. I think he’s wrong. My fingers are too short and chubby. I can do it with my toes, though. My first teeth I have two teeth now. One is a bit yellow. Mummy thinks I have an “enamel defect”. She keeps brushing it. […]
I previously posted a video of Rikuto at 3 weeks old, believing it was the earliest footage of our son that we had. However, the other day I was playing with my phone when I discovered, buried deep within its memory banks, a video I had taken just 24 hours after he was born! I guess I’m becoming really forgetful in my thirties. 😕 Here is never before seen footage […]
