After far too long, and it's really been too long, I'm back at the keyboard being productive(after a fashion) and writing about what my life is like these days. I'm sure you have all been really busy and have had loads of stuff happen to you in your lives in the past year, in fact I know you have cos that marvellous Facebook beast keeps everyone up to date with everything that anyone could ever do, and many things that they don't. Marathon runs, global adventures, births, marriages, deaths: all these things have been happening; many, many wonderful and terrible and perfectly normal things have been happening to people I care about very much, and I've missed them all. Because I'm here, on a wee island far, far away from all my friends and my family (and the best dog in the world), doing... what exactly?
Well, I'll tell you...
...not all at once though, cos that would take ages. No, I'll start with tonight and then wander on to the next thing that seems to be important.
So, tonight. It's 18.45 on a Tuesday night, and that means that I'll be leaving my little flat in 15 minutes to go wallop big drums very loudly at my Taiko class! It's amazing, and I'm not just saying this because it's the new thing to bounce about my head but because it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and my heart beat and my arms want to whallop things in time to the beat. Which, happily is just what you do at a Taiko class. There are a couple of other reasons why this pastime is a good thing for me (and a quick check at the clock tells me I've just enough time to tell you before I do one) and they are
- To speak Japanese with real Japanese people who know bugger all English - and I can!!
- Get some bloomin exercise. I live too close to the best bakery on the island. Far too close.
..and the third (bonus) great thing is that I can drive there in MY CAR!!! It is called The Freedom because now I have The Freedom to go anywhere, which is a wonderful thing indeed.
Right. Time to hit stuff. Talk to you soon.
All my love and massive hugs that have been bottled up for AAAGGGEESSS!!!
