Cooler and cloudy, bit of rain at night.

Today was a pretty good day. I got up early-ish, but there wasn't any news on. I did watch my British drama from NHK, State of Play. I'm quite enjoying it. It's got a young James McAvoy and a not so young Bill Nighy. Really twisty and turny at the moment.

I had a surprise visitor in the afternoon. Fumihiko came home for a bit. He'd had to go to a union thing, so he had to take half a day off in order to go. He didn't want to go, but it was one of those duty things.

I had a slow relaxing afternoon watching some US dramas, then cooked my brunch and headed off to work. I

I was quite busy when I got to the school. I vacuumed and I dusted, then I did a bit of paperwork. I got things ready for the day and then I relaxed for a bit and read my new Empire.

Classes were fine today. No big deal really. Between classes though I had a bit of an accident. I like to suck on ice cubes between my classes, so I'd just filled up my ice cube tray with water before my first class. After the class, I took it out to grab a cube from the container underneath and then when I put it back into the freezer, misjudged it, hit the fridge and the whole thing went flying! Yikes, there was water and ice everywhere. I had about 3 minutes before my class was supposed to start. Luckily, my student is never really early, so I grabbed up the ice cubes and ditched them. Then the doorbell rang. She was there. Sigh. I let her in, asking her to be careful, and then cleaned up the mess. Ack. Luckily, she's a long time student, and not the sort of person to be upset by a pool of water on the floor.

After work, I did my paperwork and a quick clean up. I had just finished the dishes when I got a message from Fumihiko. Was I finished? Yes, just! I called him back and he picked me up.

He was in charge of dinner tonight so he chose to go out. He told me he fell asleep at the union meeting. Oops. We went to Cocos for dinner and had a nice meal together.

We came home via the grocery store, and I got stuff for dinner. Looks like it'll be ginger pork tomorrow, with salad and chawan mushi. Sounds good to me.

That's about it for me. It was a good day. Tomorrow the weather is supposed to be bad, so I'm a little fearful about getting to work, but I should be okay. Also, tomorrow The 4400 starts again on WOWOW in the afternoon. I'm hoping it's season 4 because I haven't seen that season yet.

I'm done.

My blog on Blogspot. NO annoying pop-ups, and with bonus pictures too! I'm running out of space on Angelfire and will probably move the daily blog portion to Blogspot completely.
