On Saturday we had sports day at the elementary school. It was a lot of fun. There are some pictures in the gallery.
One of the highlghts for me was a confusin game involving giant coloured balls and basins of flour. I have no idea what was going on or who won but it seemed like fun.
I don't know if the Junior High School sports day on the 22nd will be as wild and crazy, I hope so.
I left the sports thingy at lunchtime, I went home and ended up scrubbing my bathroom with bleach. Mould is terrible here, I guess it's the humidity.
I also left my futon on the floor for about a week and the foam mattress got mouldy underneath. I took the cover off the foam cushions, washed it, bleached it and washed it again. Of course I shrank it and the cushions wouldn't go back in, so i had to cut them down to fit. I cut a little much but it's ok.
Saturday night there was a birthday party for Leeanne, one of the UK JETs, at Global Lounge in Kiryu. Heaps of people went along, there was also a belly dancing show. Nothing to do with the party, every now and then the local belly dance class puts on a show at Global Lounge. Belly is generally the operative word here.
I didn't do too much for the rest of the long weekend (we had monday off). I started a little animation project, Just a few shots to hopefully inspire the students. I took some video of the school and I'll put a couple of spaceships into the scene. Maybe when it's done and they see it's possible to do something here they'll be keen to get involved. We'll see.
