At the hop: KI KI KI!!!!!!! but do stop the tickling...

Some days I skip out of school like a pixie on its own dust (minus the green hat of course green is not my colour) other days I'm clawing at the walls in an attempt to escape and watch sites like this to calm down. And today? well its kind of both, lessons went more or less according to plan, I think the kids were entertained by my PARK OF HORROR!!! story and the monkey impressions that follow it (shouting "KI KI KI" whilst bearing my teeth) but in the afternoon the kids are irritable and so are the teachers, so today was kind of a no score draw on all regards. Although the 3rd grade boy who seems to find far to much pleasure in tickling me (yeah Japanese kids are generally more hands on that western kids they are always amazed at my arm hair, and really don't get me started when I don't shave for a while and they all start chanting beard, beard, beard!! .) seems to have kicked in up a notch when today he came up behind me put his hands over my eyes and I'm pretty sure smelt my hair! which frankly is just wierd and still freaks me out a little bit.

Anyway, yesterday I made truffle and hazelnut cake so looking forward to coming back home today and seeing how that's faired in the fridge hmmmmmm frosty and I'll probably post the full recipe when I can (be bothered) in the meantime, last week we headed over to Osaka for Knickers penultimate Rockdo. So finally I can put the pictures on, yes really, no really I will
see.

Have you ever seen one shoe laying in the street and wondered "who just leaves one shoe?" A pair would make sense (kind off) but just one!?! was it thrown? stolen by a one legged man? or just...well I can't think of any other ideas but you get the picture (I hope) well the train station near to where knickers lives had something slightly different; 2 pairs of pants just laying neatly on the hand rail. begging the question.

Who wears pants like there?

Why 2 pairs was it really cold that day?

Has someone really picked them up and neatly laid them over the rail?

And why did they disappear when I went back later in the day?

speaking of clothes here are my fancy new skull socks, ohhhhhhhhh

Oh and as for Rockdo? Well it was the usual high standard what else do you need to know really? Even more glowing lights, glitter balls and Smiths songs. Oh and I found the most obvious flyer in the world, we stayed till 6.30 again and I even found a pair of glasses at the end of the night,

which although I thought made me look smart and sophisticated, sadly T.O.H and knickers both assure me I actually look like a 35 year old loft designer from the 60's.
