My Board of Education has a piece of land which they use for rice planting. Elementary school students would come and plant rice. Once ready, it would be harvested, and kept until December, when the students would experience pounding it to make rice cakes, a traditional Japanese food typically eaten over New Year's.
Today, I, together with volunteers of Board of Education members and local farmers, prepared the fields for rice planting by ploughing the soil. It was fun, but quite hard work! Whilst working, I found me a green friend ;)

I know I'm slow on the uptake, but it has finally dawned on me, what is the point of coming back to boring London when there is so many exiting things to do on the other side of the world, and all that lovely grub??????????????????
Mind you quite exciting in Swinton (?). A fortnight ago discovered a thousand(?) fleas crawling all over Sibyl, cost £88 for treatment, including spraying the whole house. She seems to be OK but have to treat her again next week.

My feelings exactly, but we'll see how things go.
Oh no, fleas?! I'm glad to hear that she seems to be OK, I hope you haven't had bites taken off of you too?
Summer time here brings a whole load of bugs into my apartment, had to deal with mosquitoes, ants and fruit flies during the past few years. Mosquitoes are a huge problem for me, spray or no spray, they come to me all the same :(
Of course you are so nice (High Quality Blood?)
