Ted
left at 6 am yesterday with his Aikido group to spend two days at a workshop in
the north of Hokkaido near Wakkanai. In
addition to practicing Aikido, the time away gives the group a chance to hang
out together and eat well. I think it’s
the equivalent of my stitching group in the US going to Myrtle Beach for the
weekend. (As Ted was heading out the door, one of our neighbors – a young,
single professor in Ted’s department, was just getting home for the night. I
remember being so young!)
I
had a good day yesterday. I did a little
housework, worked on my quilt some, studied Japanese a bit, and took a walk.
It
looks like I’ll be doing more of the same today.
I think a day with many elements is a good day; we need variety and often achieve more if we take small breaks from a long task. Your kanji writing is so neat, I envy you!
ReplyDeleteLovely picture post. It's good to have some time to yourself.
ReplyDeleteLove your photos, such pretty colours. Your hexagons are looking great too, wish I could get started on mine, but with Christmas stitching to do, just no time.
ReplyDeletewow, what a beautiful area you live in. The Kanji charts reminds me of my time spent learning Japanese. I would fill pages and pages with the same character written over again trying to learn it!
