Good Morning Early Sunday Birds!
Woke up stupidly early this morning so have made a cup of tea & taken it back up to bed!
We bought 2 big water pistols called 'Super Soakers' on recommendation of many cat owners in another group as a suggestion to ward off. unwanted cats that keep coming into garden & scaring our two - just fire the water at them to try & ward them off. Anyway I was just sat here smiling to myself thinking what must the neighbours have thought if they could have heard me lastnight thru fence talking to OH - "I've just filled both guns up & put one near back door & one round the corner, so that if I miss aim with the 1st one I'll just grab the 2nd one & shoot with that".....🤣. Honestly Officer youve got it all wrong, lol!
Hopefully you're all mostly still in the land of nod all nice & cosy : )

We loved living in Tokyo, although the Japanese language took some conquering and we only really acquired survival level. There are so many interesting places to see in Japan and we chalked up quite a lot of them. Navigating was challenging though as most streets didn't have names and I was quite often reduced to driving around until I recognised something!
While travelling in the 90s I spent 11 days in Japan, via a ship from Shanghai to Osaka( 2 day trip) I fell in love with Kyoto, spending almost 8 days there, then hitchhiked to Tokyo, and spent only 3 days there, staying near Shinjuku station.
Language was a major problem, 99.9%+only spoke japanese, found 2 people who spoke English.
I remember pan no Mimi( bread crust,which most bakeries would throw away)
I read a travelogue by a young woman who went camping in Japan, travelling on her bicycle with all her camping gear. She found it very difficult as Japan has no concept of camping. A great read for people who enjoy the genre

barry - I like the sound of that book - think I'll look it up

Hazlinny - both my cats(sisters) LOVE water. In fact every single morning they wait outside the bathroom for MrSmow to finish his shower, then they just jump in bath and roll around in the wet. Then I have to put the cold tap on slow and they sit and have a drink whilst paddling in the water going down the plug hole. Looks so so funny to watch.
