Hot and rainy. Lots of rain with thunder and lightning.

I got up this morning and then took a nap! It was nice.

I had a quiet day at home. I did do some housework during the day, and I started working on a project for my women's group. I'm not going to talk about it in case it doesn't work out though.

I went off to work a bit after five. It had been raining most of the day, but I was lucky and found a window in the storm. I was near my apartment when it started to rain, and luckily, just needed to turn the corner when it started to pour. I went into my school and hung up my wet and damp clothes.

When my student came we had a great discussion about her trip to the US. She'd gone to the US with an orchestra group. She'd been prepared and hoping to stay with a US family, but ended up staying with a Japanese family. I'm so disappointed for her. She really wanted to be able to use her English, but she didn't have much opportunity. On the other hand she is now thinking about going overseas next year just to study.

After class, I cleaned up and then Fumihiko picked me up. We came home and I made dinner. Tonight's lovely dinner was ginger pork, salad, tofu and French fries. It was rather nice. Fumihiko did the dishes which was great of him.

We had a nice quiet evening together.

I'm doing the SATC thing again. Sometimes the characters are so stupid that I just want to shake them. Other times they are just so over the top that I can't help laugh. I think when the WOWOW special is over I'll actually miss the show.

Anyway, that's it for me for tonight. I'll talk to you tomorrow night. Bye!

My blog on Blogspot. NO annoying pop-ups, and with bonus pictures too! I'm running out of space on Angelfire and will probably move the daily blog portion to Blogspot completely.
