Last night I was awake it seemed for hours - a combination of hormones and anxiety. One of the many thoughts that occupied my waking moments/hot flushes was that I’d look into starting a new blog for this trip, along with the following, “Does our water bottle need a replacement charcoal filter? (Murray chasing this down today), “Should I make a new bag?”, “What meals will I cook when Takahashi is here next week?” (we have a Japanese teacher staying with us for a week on a school exchange programme. I stayed at his place last year when our school did a similar exchange in Seto). “Do I remember any Japanese? Not much”, (Yay, for Google translate!) and “If it’s sunny today I’d better check to see if my new prescription sunglasses that have polarising glass won’t annoy me too much when I take photos with my IPhone 5”. For some reason, the display on my phone almost becomes 3D and has an annoying rainbow effect as I move my head. It doesn’t happen on any other devices in our household. Arrgghh! Anyway, it didn’t seem too bad. I’m thinking, maybe next year I’ll “trade” my old IPhone for a new one!
