Oni-wa-soto

Chief giving good chat about the meaning but also about not saying nasty things to friends, which Allan also mentioned first up in class & about not throwing stuff at people/saying 'Shinu' ("die"). Not a bad thing to pick up on.

Oni himself scared the crap out of some little ones: soon a herd behind me quivering & crying, several hugs administered!

Food = make monster face, thence unto sola class & nothing to do. Observed band practice, someone puked in the corridor, Wataru told off & made sit seiza, still misbehaved. The lad has a snarky streak.

Old teacher picks up sporting injury!

A minus 4 degrees cycle ride this morning, on treacherous icy roads; the playground is frozen like a slab of uneven concrete, so several scratched hands for those falling over. Trying to remember which ones I saw over the weekend at the festival in town!

Minnie making plans for the 24th assumes I am coming (it's a Saturday)...but she is the least presumptive & most careful.

Not much doing, and I nearly nodded off. Salmon for lunch & the kids racing slow.
No iPod...singing solo.

Utterly unemployed in Fski's room, maybe writing down resolutions? Hurt my left shoulder rotator cup again playing dodgeball, which is very annoying and will make riding to work afterwards even more perilous. Not as bad as the time I tore my hamstring to shreds at the Korean School - back of my leg was black and blue for three weeks!

Cameo from Chief.
