Burning Issues

So that's the end of the narrative of the house project. It has been reconstructed from emails and photos of the time we were there. So until we return to Japan  on another adventure I'll be using these newly acquired skills in computer blogging gibberish to bring you  comments, observations and other informative nonsense at regular intervals. Theres a soapbox in the corner which will be dragged out on occasion and Shizuka will be throwing in her 2 yens worth from time to time.

Last night when conversing with some friends we happened to end up discussing an important question which needs to be addressed. This came up when Charlene mentioned that the local primary school is having a picnic at 7PM. Shane asserted that 7PM is too late for a picnic. I argued that a picnic is simply a light meal eaten outside in a place away from your home and that there is no rule on what time it must be. I know many Japanese have picnics at night while sitting under Sakura trees and watching fireworks. To lay this matter to rest I have decided to conduct a poll. It's Down at the bottom of the page so scroll on down there and check it out.  Please vote so we can sort out this important matter and gain some closure.
