Went on a trip arranged for gaijin to Sakaiminato. We braved the rain to tour around Mizuki Shigeru road area and a sake brewery. Below is a pic of Kitaro of Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro fame. He is holding is father’s eyeball.

It’s usual for us all to sleep together in the early hours after Kento has been fed. I’m finding however, that I’m getting nudged further towards the edge of the bed each time.
This morning I found myself out in the cold, I think I’ve got a chill.

Most families here don’t own a dishwasher due to a lack to space. Consequently, the dishes are washed by hand.
Unsure if this is a quirk of my in-laws, the cleaned items are then arranged it a wire bowl to drain. Everything is stacked, inserted or left lying precariously on the top. This seems to be done as a Zen art, the pile reaching a couple of feet.
It must take me three times a long to dry, anxiously removing a teaspoon in the fear the whole lot will go. Why a rack can’t be used I don’t know.
Perhaps I should test my skills and add a couple of sets of chopsticks. It would make an interesting game of Ker Plunk.

I’ve been in quarantine since the start of the month and really being to miss holding Kento. Checked my weight and have lost 3.5 kg.
Took a couple of hours out of my busy schedule to watch The Eiger Sanction. Although the film isn’t brilliant, I was keen to see it again. Reckon films produced in the Seventies to be the pinnacle.

What better way to start the month than with a cold. I’m supposed to get the site finished and start blogging in earnest.
Having cleared my sinuses in a couple of mammoth exercises yesterday, I have since developed a sore throat.
Didn’t get to sleep until gone three despite a number of hot toddys. Spent most of last evening and this morning sneezing. I am trying for a hernia. Breakfast was a deep fried head of garlic.
