I always seem...
... to write about my weekend. It always seems to take the same format. "I did this on Saturday. Ooo then I did this on Sunday. Thanks for reading." And this entry is going to be no different.
On Friday night I went to a mate's place for dinner. I haven't caught up with him properly for ages. We work together at the BOE, but I only go there one afternoon a week so we don't catch up much then either. And it was the first time I'd seen his wife since their wedding in July. She is an amazing chef - we ate some of the best food I have eaten in ages. And I showed them my blog, which was quickly translated into Japanese via yahoo translator. Hope you're reading this guys!
Saturday and Sunday was the bunkasai (Cultural Festival) in Azuma, and the Nursery School kids sang in the concert on Saturday morning. Like last year, I accompanied them on the piano, which was good fun. They sang 6 songs all up; three Japanese and three English. Nothing like belting out the ABC song, Do Re Mi and Under the spreading chestnut tree with 20-or-so five- and six-year-old kids on a Saturday morning.
Afterwards, I went over to the baseball ground where all the small stalls were set up. One of my student's fathers talked me into buying a stone keychain which he made. He told me I had to buy one, and that I could choose between a dog or a rabbit. I went for the dog, seeing how I was born in the year of the dog.
Had a lazy afternoon at home before going to Maebashi for a Halloween Party. OMG - good times good times. While we lost a few team members along the way (had nothing to do with alcohol consumption, I'm sure) the majority of us managed to dance the entire night away.
Sunday was a lazy Sunday, with a trip to Tonya coffee for the best coffee in the world, then onto Martown for the best pizza, then a spot of shopping at Muji (the best shop ever) and then home.
Ok, yep so that was my weekend. I promise I will try to make a more exciting entry next time...
