Laidback atmosphere to yesterday’s lessons because of Kanazawa Marathon. Lots of road closures, and so quite a few absentees and people...

Just back from Aeon Komatsu. Bought some things for work. Had a nice amble around while NMY were at Zara. Quite restful. Evening before...

The weather is turning. Nursery this morning was fine. Feel things need a tune-up though. Same flow since the post-lockdown restart last...

Worked on the flower bed (?) by the front door. Looks much better now. Need some kawara chips or similar, and think steps could do with...

The world seems a slightly better place when Man U lose 5-0 at home to Liverpool. Am sure growing up in the 90s is the key factor. Back...

They’re safely back from YAGP. Seem to have had a good trip. 戦闘中 was on this evening. Much better than recent iterations. Kept things...

Long day today. Went well enough. Timing wasn't there. Buzzers are still just about intact but can't be a weekly thing. Tired. Y's mirror...

My Japanese seemed to grow steadily worse in the morning. Peak was at the dry cleaners when was trying to explain how I had a card but...

Nursery this morning. Was fine. Younger class seemed very stretched out over the full length of the (long) room which gave things a...

M's Sports Day today. A staccato Zoom feed which covered the entire ground and with the starting gun as pretty much the only audio... Bit...
