A word of warning

It seems like GCom is sending many ex-students a letter inviting them to join.
There is a website for Nova and GCom teachers.
The news is nearly always correct http://www.letsjapan.org
Look at "March Madness"

How do you pose?

One interesting thing for me is how people pose for a photograph.
I hate having my picture taken . It is hard to look natural. Ifeel uncomfortable in any pose.
How do you pose and why do you think most Japanese young people do a "peace sign"?

Good evening. If it is evening where you are.

Well the cherry blossom is coming out once again.

Many will be flocking to see the lovely trees and some to party under them.

I try to avoid such places. You can usually find some cherry trees in a secluded place. Schools are good places of course.

Anyway, have fun whatever your forte is.

Due to it being the spring school holiday there were a few absentee Mums from the class on Wednesday. Mum! LUNCH!!

Tomoko dropped by with her daughter who became very shy.

I have that effect on people maybe. Or it was due to my ugly face.

The class will be at the same place as usual next Wednesday.

Keep well

Good evening.

Are you having a fun weekend?

I'd just like to say thank you for the present.

I am having a cup of coffee now with it with a piece of cheesecake!!!

Scotty is after the cake as I am typing.

Shep is outside, as usual.

Question*

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE DRINK AND WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO DRINK IT?

As for me, I like a beer after I get home from a long walk, especially a Bass Pale Ale!

Take good care and the next class is at the usual place at the usual time.

.

Quiz. What is this building in my home town?

Sorry one and all for neglecting the Blog.
First of all there will be a class at the International Lounge on Wednesday this week
with tea or coffee and (who knows?)
One of my students of 17 years passed away last week. She was 84.
I attended her wake and funeral at the weekend.
I also have a bad cold (which should be ok by Wednesday so don't be afraid
of sitting near me.
Anyway, I hope you are all fine.
Hope to meet you soon.

Wednesday (and a bit of irony)

As usual the class will be held at the International Lounge from 10:30.

I went to Odawara on Saturday to pick up my new glasses!! and...
I walked past my old work place (your old place of study) and....
there was a notice on the door.
"Wanted! 50 Hostesses to work here from April"
Nova will be a hostess bar or cabaret!
Great! (ironic) Odawara needs something like that in front of the station with the pachinko parlours and the Keirin on the hill. (more irony)
Sigh!

SAWREY

There are two Sawrey's. Near Sawrey and Far Sawrey. They are next to each other. Very few people live there. There are 4 or 5 guest houses . One shop and post office combined, but it does have Hilltop Farm. The farm bought by Beatrix Potter. You can see many of te scenes form her books around the village. Rather a boring place to live ,but a delightful place to visit and stay a while.
