My favourite day of the week is...

My favourite day of the week is Friday. I the afternoon I always go to brass band, then I usually play with my friends and watch TV in the evening.

We're shopping at the department store. It's the ice cream shop. My aunt is an insurance woman at the insurance company. I have insurance.

I'm walking to school. We always have fun. Yesterday, it was rainy. We were at the gymnasium. How's the weather today? It's sunny! We can go to school grounds.

Tomorrow is October 27th; it's my father's birthday. My sisters, mother and me make cake. I want to have fun.

Driving stories - just in time

Happy Birthday! (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

When I had been taking driving lessons, I had been working for the company in Tokyo, and my son was just before 1 year birthday. So I was definitely busy.

I don't remember, but maybe I've got a licence after 3 months later, as I might expect. It was a day after my son's birthday. His birthday was Sunday, so I couldn't get on the same day.

The company said, after my son became 1 year old, I had to work harder and I couldn't get child care time. It was the limit of my getting the licence time. It was relief.

It's a girl!

Just a very quick post to announce the birth of Eleanor Christine George, on Saturday August 25th (exactly on schedule - very much in character with Yukari!). Mother & daughter are doing very well after a long labour (47 hours!), and I am looking forward to boring everyone to death with photos soon. I am a very, very proud father and you'll have to forgive me if lessons this week are a bit unplanned; not had a lot of sleep!
