		<description><![CDATA[I’ve just whittled away the afternoon smelling potatoes. The spuds have been hanging up in the garage waiting to turn green. Despite checking them when digging them up, a few had turned putrid. The smell was horrid; hot cat shit.
I am anxious about storing them without anywhere cool to store them. The humidity is a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the news a few days ago was a report on hordes of monkeys descending upon gardens. The old residents have put dozens of giant stuffed tigers in an attempt to keep them at a distance. Those bold enough get faced with a barrage of rockets propelled from makeshift launchers and pistols.

The majority of the vines are now yellowing. This is in part to my idea of growing some of them up poles to make better use of space. Besides [...]]]></description>

Inside the former hotel we watched a weaver at work on an old loom. Hanging on the walls were many traditional patchwork pieces. Coffee was served with a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As Ritsue&#8217;s bump on the outside grows, it looks like things are growing inside. The clinic is keen to see patients every two weeks! I guess that&#8217;s pretty standard in Japan.
So long as there are no complications, we would rather visit less often; already at this stage things are expensive.

I’m happy with the yield. Despite giving several bags away prior, the spuds created a nice mound in the wheelbarrow. Two of the rows [...]]]></description>
