It's amazing to think that in a few short days our house itself will be completed, with only landscaping to be done. Now that it's drawing near it seems like only yesterday that the land was first broken, but it still feels as if we have to wait an eternity to move in. It's all very abstract!
Today, the tatami matting went into the tatami room. It has such a distinctive smell when it's new and reminds me of when we first moved to Japan. It's green at first, but over time turns golden coloured. Here are today's pictures - the tatami room is further below.

Looking forward to a house-warming!
