Adventures in the Looking Glass

I should be going to bed as I have high school tomorrow, but there's clearly not enough time in the day and I still haven't sewn up the hem on my trousers.  Could be a total waste of time as rain in hurling down at the moment, and may well be tomorrow also, it being a Wednesday when rain usually seems to be falling.  In fact, last Wednesday the dry spell finally broke with a typhoon.  So you know what I did?  I went down to the open air pool in Asagaya and went swimming in a typhoon.  It's was the best thing I've done in ages, though probably not as good as if I had been naked also, but one can't have everything.  I enjoyed feeling the rain pounding me as I ploughed up and down the pool. 

Started running again last week.  Am following the Couch to 5K programme, but after two days it became obvious that my sports bra cannot quite keep things still enough anymore, so I now have to wait until the new sports bra I ordered from England turns up.  Ho hum.

Am organizing a jazz/funk night at the bar I help out at.  Had a painfully difficult conversation with one of the musicians the other night.  I could barely understand what he was saying so in the end he asked to be handed over to someone Japanese, which only made things a bit better, as the Japanese speaker had to keep repeating stuff too.  Anyway, felt a but embarrassed and depressed about my Japanese so have sworn to try and get back into things after 6 months off.

Have a pic.
