HAPPY NEW YEAR

I hope everyone enjoyed the new year break and didn't over-do it!
The weather was good. Did you do the usual things? Flying kites.badminton in the garden, karuta(hyakuninshu)??? Maybe not.
More likely you watched the NHK song contest and the Ekiden.Right?
Not my cup of tea to tell the truth,but the seem to be new year favourites.
Did anyone go back to their home town to visit relatives?
I did very little. I intended to go to Tokyo to visit relatives, but was a bit under the weather, so gave it a miss.
I got a bit bored being in the house so gave Scotty a hair-cut. I kind of regret it now as no one seems to like it, apart from me.Ah,well. You can't please everyone.
And I did some baking! I made some pies and scones. Very British, aren't I? Especially the spare tyre I now have with all the calories! (it means "fat stomach")
I am not sure when the first lesson will be on Wednesday.There will be a lesson on the 16th of course but I heard from Miss Swan that some people can not attend on the 9th. So if you would like to have a lesson on the 9th please reply to this post.
Otherwise the first class will be on the 16th in a place I will inform you of later.
Nick.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
For me, this vacation was really tough.There had been so many things to do, but my bad tooth was going to be worse and worse.
I could not sleep all night on the first day of this year!! Do you imagine how I had been? It was a terrible new year's day in my whole life...2 days later I will have my tooth out.So, my new year's resolution is being healthy and happy!

Poor Seaurchin!
What a tough time you had!
I can imagine,actually as the same thing happened to me many years ago.
It was during a "long weekend " and the dentists was shut.
I was in agony.So I know how you must have felt.
My sympathy goes out to you.
I hope the extraction goes all right.
