[sumo] Tochiazuma dampatsu (later)

[Doreen Simmons]

Yesterday was a very warm and sharing time. But I just don't have the 
strength to do a write-up as yet. One reason was that I stood in 
temperatures of 4-5 degrees for an hour waiting for a photographer who 
didn't show up. But his cell-phone isn't answering either, so maybe he 
has a good excuse.... It had better be good.

But, looking on the bright side, how fortunate Tochiazuma was on the 
day -- if the weather had been a day later he would have been snowed 
out -- and al those busloads of fans might not have got there in time! 
Unusually for a dampatsu-shikui he really did have a close-to sell-out.
