Because I'm leaving Japan in May, I couldn't teach this semester and so I'm essentially not working much these days. And I must say I think I've found a vocation.
After a night snuggled on the sofa with Timorous Beast, Jason Bourne and a bottle of syrah, I woke up at the despicable hour of 10.00 am. Upon checking my inbox, I found a lovely email from a Welsh colleague who left Tokyo last year and is now in Aberystwyth, with photos of him frolicking in misty fields with animals. Then I sat on the balcony in the sunshine listening to the birds twittering before popping round to the post office, running a few errands and picking up something for lunch.
Bliss.

Enjoy it my dear! You deserve it all! I'm just peeved that I won't get to do the same when my time comes as I plan on working until the Friday before I leave! Ah well... I'll have a rest when I get to Thistle Town.
Poor Pix. Yes, you can rest among the heather.
Is it wrong that I'm actually excited about seeing heather? I used to read about it all the time in my Enid Blyton books, and growing up in India - it was in short supply.
It's a cliche, but I love the heather too.
