Nursery school class went okay today. I'd met a J woman at one of the Teacher's meetings on Sunday who lives nearby (in fact in the apartment I used to teach from, how weird is that?) and since she teaches at another nursery school I was hoping I'd be able to introduce her and cop out of any more lessons but they want a real live foreigner so that put paid to that.

Tonight I've classes until 9.30 so it's store bought okonomiyaki and yakisoba in the Nomiyama household (a banana and peanut butter sarnie for me!)

My no-beer diet from a couple of months ago lasted about 3 days so I've still got the belly I had (plus a bit more from NZ) so I'm going to try again. This time it's been altered a bit to 1 beer a night (no beer is just too hard!) so we'll see what comes of it this time. Another woman whose blog I read has also started to try to lose weight and since we are similar sizes, I'm going to pace myself with her. I'm being rather cheeky though and haven't told her although I think some of you might connect the two of us if you read both blogs!
