Goodness it's a whole 'nother month. What have I been doing? A more interesting question, what have I been? I have been a park is what at a Halloween gathering/ pub crawl (a frightening (for the locals) combination in a small Japanese town. And I got tonsillitis grrr). I made my costume out of fake grass from the local hardware store. It tested the limits and patience of my new, dear, wee sewing machine that I have tentatively named Lorna. I wanted to be a rugby field but could find no players. I wanted to be a farm (even made fences) but could find no animals. So I was a park with dogs, trees and rabbit. I won most original costume and got grass burn on the inside of my upper arms.
Another something I have been is sick again. Grrr indeed. My own silly fault for park-being but grrr anyway. I went to school after being anti-bioticed to spare my dwindling (and few to start with) sick days only to be told I was to sick to teach and that I should sit in the corner and face the wall. I gave up and went home. I hate tonsils. What are they for anyway? grrr again.
Now that I have thoroughly cleared my throat...
Also I have made some delightful jandals (zorri). The are good for stimulating the nerve endings in one's feet and stuff. Very fetching when made in paisley.
ANOTHER making of mine was cookies for the culture festival. As they were laced with butter and flour I didn't try them and was rather nervous about their sales. I shouldn't have worried. Once a student saw them they sold mighty fast. Yay for giving children sugar (three kinds).
Twas a lovely day despite the gusty rain and wind shaking our little sale tent. I ate a lot of Filipino coconut rice.
Nice.
