Well, the pundits were only partly right. Mayday came around after a long three-day break which had balmy summer-like conditions and a spectacular thunderstorm on Saturday with huge temperature drops, massive bolts of lightning and pea-sized hailstones belting out of the sky like some biblical admonition. But Sunday and Monday were nice enough, and people went to the park in full force.
Our neighborhood park with its two ponds and 2km jogging path is just right - it hardly draws any crowds as it is off the beaten track and just about everyone crams into Inokashira Park with its zoo and market stalls and street musicians. Lots of flower power out there, this season has defied the pundits, April was in fact cooler than average, which kept the floral displays at just the right note of splendor.
Enjoy.
Many Maydays These Days
