I took a long leisurely walk along the river, viewing the sakura...

and getting sunburnt.
I went to the bank, supermarket, then stopped at a convenience store on my way back to pay my cell phone and power bills. The bills have barcodes, so she rang up both bills and my anpan and I paid for it all at once :)
In the evening I had 2 classes. Both went well, though we finished everything with time to spare and I had to think up backup stuff — in the second class, I for some reason thought the class went til 7:15, and it wasn’t until like 7:10 that any of the kids said anything and I realized duh, it only went to 7. Oops! Sorry guys. Though they seemed to be having fun, as much as I can tell anyway.
After that, Kaori came over for a bit. I made tea and had snacks I picked up earlier, so we sat on my futon and chatted. It’s fun to have someone to talk to, and since she lived in America for like 15 years she’s comfortable talking in English.
Here are the mini choco buns:
And the anko mochi (I think), which I love:
Goodnight!
Of course you can pay your utilities at the convenience store. Of course.
ReplyDeleteCan you make sure the Sakura are that pretty when we get there? Thanks in advance.
That's why they're convenient, of course.
DeleteI'll work on the sakura.
What a nice day, and a miracle really that children let you go after 10 minutes without a peep. You must be a great teacher!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sakura blossams. I wonder what your view is looking like of the ones near the river.
The sakura is so pretty! But for some reason when I saw the picture of the mini choco buns, I was convinced the thing to the right of the buns was a human (bent over, the black thing being the head)and I was surprised how the really large "fake" buns looked so real.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAH!
DeleteIt took me a while to figure out what you meant. That's hilarious.
