Last night was great fun but too much beer was consumed and it doesn't feel that great today but I'm sure I'm feeling better than a few others! Four of us left around 10 but there were another 4 who stayed on.

Our friend's husband's restaurant it a yakitori (skewered chicken) restaurant which means that the majority of food is chicken but cooked (or even uncooked!) in a myriad of ways. The kids kept him and his staff busy with the amount they managed to eat - who said boys have a big appetite from JHS onwards? We got the kids all fed first and then sent them home around 7.30pm and it was time for the mothers to have fun!

Because I only have 2 lessons this afternoon, I should have been able to go slow this morning but it just happened to be the same day that they were coming to disconnect our cable for the TV and internet in the old house. Since we thought we would have moved by now, we cancelled the contract from the end of February so we are now without. Since I hardly watch TV anyway it's not that big a deal for me but I'm sure Keita and Setsuo are having withdrawal symptoms - we have it installed in the new house so they can always go and get a 'fix' if it gets too much for them. The lack of internet just means that I go to bed a bit earlier too which is no bad thing.
