Five Unrelated sightings

Things I've seen lately:

Tuna the size of small cars in the Tsukiji Fish Market, Tokyo. For some reason I thought that all these fish were air-freighted fresh etc. But they were all frozen (snap, presumably) and being cut up on band-saws and run around on trolleys.

Fresh wasabi. As above, minus the cars and band-saws. Tasted sweeter, more aromatic, less hot, than the paste.

A group of twenty-one Jehovahs Witnesses in Davos, Switzerland, eating creme caramels and with the men ordering cokes for the women, who would not address the waiting staff directly. As happens.

CDs of Leo Mullins (2LtrDolby) new band, The Small Knives, on sale in Jamarico, Zurich.

Reto about to go on tour with Seelenluft. They are no.1 in Belgium!
