Packing whatever the weather

I sit at the edge of my suitcase and wonder whether I have packed anything at all that will be suitable... After all who knows what the weather will be like... cool but how cool? 

Given the weather turns here, a boiling hot summers on Thursday twisting round into a sudden dance with bitter cold winters breath on Saturday a mere two days later... 

Well it leaves me wondering whether to pack another jumper or save the space for things I plan on bringing back, like newer trendier clothes and stuff for the house, some nice earthy soup bowls for instance. I'm not really a fan of shopping but last time I spent a few days in Japans I suddenly got shopping eyes and just really took to looking at all the stuff you just don't see here. 

Anyway all this is really a rambling way to say I shall be on a brief hiatus as I step through the moss gardens of Kyoto and Tokyo.
