Hey Tokyo people. If you like a good story, maybe want to tell yours someday, or just enjoy spooky times at a taproom with good pizza and beer, this is for you. The theme is 'Trick or Treat: Bite-sized stories of fears, pranks, and wicked indulgence.' Live storytellers, no notes, props, or slides!

#ClocktoberMusic Day 5 The debut single from their first album, released in 1969. Along with the song, the album title and cover are a gimme for this challenge. There are worse ways to end the weekend or start the week. Time Machine - Grand Funk Railroad youtu.be/eDxyiCRUDzY?...

Not only was I able to find mussels in the excellent supermarket at Funabashi station today, but look at the size of them! Always a hugely pleasant surprise when I can get them. Going to cook these with white wine and cream, and a chopped chilli or two from the garden for a bit of kick.

Tokyo folk, I'm looking for your best Indian restaurant recommendations please. Until its closure a couple of years ago, Dhaba India in Kyobashi was my favourite, and by some distance. Any suggestions that might equal or exceed it?
