Blimey!
Okay so here it goes.
A manic month spent doing stuff ready for the move and doing the intensive teaching English course. Hooray I passed! Putting that amount of effort into something and not passing would not have been pretty.
Due to a change of plan we ended up bringing 16 pieces of luggage with us. However we got a man and a van to take us to the airport - we travelled in the front rather than in the back.
Said goodbye to Victor. Hope the new driver -you know who you are -enjoys him. I won't say as much as I've enjoyed Victor as this would be tricky.
Managed to squeeze in a visit to the RA to see Ai Wei - very good. Went to dinner at the Colony Bar and Grill. Had starters which meant we missed out on the fabulous looking baked alaska.
Arrived here on Tuesday. Yesterday was all the admin. and getting household stuff.
Today is first day at work for himself. Meanwhile I at home am trying to stay awake and decided to try and create a blog to get things going.
Sorry no photo but yesterday saw a clothes horse type thing mounted on a moped parked outside. Wonder if the person rides it around town if it is now very windy.
Must go stuff to do, and want to see if this has worked!
JC. Liam here. The background of the blog made me think that it was a photo from Dominic's first day at work ! Anyway I accessed the blog successfully, let's now see if I can post a comment successfully on it !
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Jane - keep it up! I look forward to hearing whether or not you try out the clothes drying method. Love to you both and bon courage Julia X

Good to hear from you and looking forward to regualr postings about life in Tokyo- no detail too boring..it is all fascinating as it definitely feels you are 'out foreign', as we Irish would say.
ReplyDeleteLife continues in London. Still under the yoke of the Tory Regime. We have had our first frost. Nadiya won the Great British Bake off and made Mary Berry and all of us cry. I had Takami for supper last night as our Tash is working in a Japanese/Brasilian place in Soho..not sure what the Brasilian element is yet, apart from the staff.
Your comments on Japanese food will be particularly enjoyed by me as I am utterly obsessed with food. Also interested in street style, manners, kitchen gadgets and stationery, wool and haberdshery shops , pottery and other crafts. Rather weird when I reread that..
Lots of love to you both..and tell Dominci to keep the Faith!

Sorry we didn't get to catch up before you left, but really hope that the move went smoothly and that you are both settling in well. Good luck with the teaching exploits Jane, I'll send you a newsy email too shortly just to keep you posted about what is going in our very manic but I suspect slightly duller lives!!! Love from everyone in the Dicky household :-) xx
