25.07.2006 or "Day off"

The second Typhoon is coming, you can feel it in the air. When you look outside everything seems to be grey and muggy. I think the children had a day off school today on account of the Typhoon although it didnt amount to anything much here today except rain. As usual for some reason the people in the South are getting the brunt of it. I watched on the news how the streets were flooded and the sewers were erupting out on the streets. I guess its just tempting fate to say I havent experienced any of it yet so Ill just stop talking about it.

We had lots of free time today and I got up pretty late. I went to make my Blendy and realised that there were only nine left! I dont think they sell it here yet so Id better get someone to bring some more. Lunch was at a local Dim Sum restaurant, although I dont like dimsum. In the morning I had built myself a Taiko practice drum from cardboard box which I was merrily thwacking away at with some chopsticks whilst watching the songs on Youtube. It works suprsingly well although the chopsticks are too small and light and to everyone else, I look a little silly. In the afternoon I played on the real thing for about half an hour before realising I was very tired and my legs were giving way. I drank some green tea and headed home to crash out on the sofa.

That brings us up to speed folks, it been a really slow day. Hope everyone is still good and happily getting on with their lives. Speak to you tommorrow.
