THE CLOCKS WENT BACK LAST NIGHT, giving me one hour extra free in bed. An hour, to be honest I could have done without on a dank and stagnant Sunday but there we go. So I stayed up extra late making out intricate Japanese motifs on notepaper to the sounds of NDR North German radio and the all-night interactive casino (how on earth did that ever get allowed?!) on Channel 5. I finally went to bed at 7:30am in the new time and rose at 3pm.
DOES NO-ONE like my axolotls? I'm scrapping Fridays on Saturdays, blobberous, furry, fishy or otherwise if that's how little they're liked: I had just one comment last time I checked!
IT WASN'T RAINING last time I checked ~ but any excuse to bring up my favourite Japanese character. "Ame" ~ it means rain. How poetic!And now I have to vanish into the wintry night. Cheery-bye all!

ReplyDeleteIf I wasn't just bout to be terminated for lack of time I'd alter the awkward phrasing but too late ...
HOPE Y'ALL HAD A CHEERY WEEKEND

Don't worry about the # of comments Gledwood. Post whatever you want to ramble on about. It's all good.
ReplyDeleteThe Japanese written language looks like art compared to a boring alphabet, but my simple mind can't handle anything so seemingly complex. It might not really be that complex, maybe it's just my ignorance that makes it so. However, it would be fascinating to be able to visit Japan and at least be able to carry on a conversation in Japanese. To me Japan is a country of such wonderful contrasts with a mix of modern society with bullet trains and traditions that go back more than a thousand years. It is also needless to say I would love to hike in the mountains in Japan. That would be great fun indeed. I'm just not sure how I would ever make such a thing happen.
ReplyDeleteI woke up to hubby walking through the door, "your home early."
ReplyDelete"No I'm home at the usual time."
I looked again. "Its just after six."
"No its not, it seven."
Fall back for us wasn't suppose to happen till the first of November because of pres, Bush.
Me and hubby are confused, to say the lest.

MOLSON: I know... I have seen some blogs (I jumped into them by chance) whose keepers update them faithfully every day and NOBODY AT ALL leaves any comments there, so I ought to count myself lucky...
ReplyDelete... as for Japanese writing, I found it exceedingly funky. It is "the most complicated writing system on earth"... but having said that you can learn to write in it far quicker than you would Chinese, because not every word demands unique characters.
By the way I found reading and writing Japanese with its over 2000 basic symbols far EASIER than Hebrew with just 22 consonants and no vowels!
JANICE: the clocks went back everywhere all at once then... that's weird. A sign of the times we live in I suppose. I only knew because GERMAN radio I happened to be listening to put out a warning shout, then I realized a TV programme "on till 4am" would have finished 10 minutes ago if we were in old time... yes it appears I'm the 2nd slowest person after you ~ haha!
One hour difference I don't even realize, only my cats do ! lol !
ReplyDeleteClocks already went back in Britain ey? I had no idea. We're supposed to go back here this coming Sunday, the 1st of November I guess.
ReplyDeleteGreat weekend here. We turn back the clocks on Nov. 1 over here.
ReplyDeleteGreetings :) I like the character for rain very much. It is like looking out of a window at rain when the wind is blowing! Also I love how axolotls are salamanders that do not want to grow up - like Peter Pan. So cute pictures!
