先月、歳の離れたお友達と久しぶりにデートしてきました。元ブログ友のFちゃんと‥一年ぶりのデート😊

茨城に住むFちゃんとは、いつもなら上野か東京駅で待ち合わせして一緒にランチしてお喋りしたりするのだけど‥

今年はスカイツリーに行こうということで、押上駅で待ち合わせ。

Fちゃんに最初に会ったのは、もう10年以上前のことで‥彼女も随分若かったし、あまりお化粧気も無い綺麗な顔にサラサラロングヘア、すらっとしたパンツスタイルにスニーカーがよく似合うそんな印象の人でした。

今も変わらず若いけど、でもいつの間にか（？）彼女も人妻となり‥お化粧もして（薄化粧だけど）そして、パンツではなくロングスカートの人になっていましたねー

さて無事に再会出来たところで、先ずは月島のもんじゃ焼きをいただきに‥

もんじゃ焼きって、長くお好み焼き圏の関西に住んでいた私には殆ど馴染みの無い食べ物。茨城でもあまり食べないとFちゃんが言うので‥二人して興味津々で店員さんが焼いてくれるもんじゃ焼きに集中‥

F-chan and Skytree

Last month, I went on a date with a friend who is much older than me. My first date in a year with my former blog friend F-chan😊

Usually, I’d meet up with F-chan, who lives in Ibaraki, at Ueno or Tokyo Station and we’d have lunch together and chat…

This year, we decided to go to Skytree, so we met up at Oshiage Station.

It’s been more than 10 years since I first met F-chan… She was quite young, with a beautiful face that didn’t wear much makeup, silky long hair, and a slim pants style that suited sneakers.

She’s still as young as ever, but at some point (?) she became a married woman… She started wearing makeup (though it was light) and long skirts instead of pants.

Now that we were safely reunited, we went to Tsukishima for monjayaki first…

Monjayaki is a food that I’m not familiar with, having lived in the Kansai region, where okonomiyaki is popular for a long time. F-chan said that she doesn’t eat much even in Ibaraki… so we were both very interested and focused on the Monjayaki that the waiter was cooking for us…

なんか撮り方が下手で映えない。。けど、美味しく頂きました😋

じゃあ、いよいよスカイツリーに登りましょう❣️

I’m not very good at taking photos so it doesn’t look good. But it was delicious 😋

Now, it’s time to go up the Skytree❣️

ただ‥あいにくの曇り空で、あんまり景色よく見えないかも‥

Unfortunately, it’s cloudy, so you might not be able to see the view very well.

と思ってたけど、（我々のおこないが良かったのか‥😄）段々晴れてきて結構遠くまで見渡すことが出来ました😊

わたくし個人的には、もう一つ上の展望回廊まで行きたかったのだけど（高い所好きなので）

Fちゃんは高い所が駄目そうだったので（目眩がするらしく‥）今回はここまで‥

あー、でもここは又夜景を観に訪れたいところですね🩷

Or so we thought, but (maybe we were being good…😄) the sky gradually cleared up and we were able to see quite far away😊

Personally, I wanted to go up to the observation gallery one step higher (because I like high places)

F-chan doesn’t like high places (apparently she gets dizzy…) so that’s all for now…

Ah, but I’d like to come back here again to see the night view🩷

今年はFちゃんにとって節目の年だから‥頑張って良い節目にしてね❣️

‥なんて、カフェのテーブルでタロットするのも楽しい😝

又、近況聞かせてよね🙋‍♀️

とか言いながら、楽しいスカイツリーデートはお開きに。

次は又来年かな‥

This year is a turning point for F-chan, so do your best to make it a good turning point❣️

…But it’s fun to play tarot at a cafe table😝

Please tell me about your latest updates🙋‍♀️

And with that, our fun Skytree date came to an end.

Maybe next time will be next year…
