あけましておめでとございます!今年もよろしくお願いします!

Happy New Year everyone!

I'm back from some intensive travelling in the far east. I just thought I would quickly catch up with what I did before I left for my jollies. Towards the end of the school term (a whole 17 weeks with no break in between) I was rather tired and couldn't wait for a break. Christmas was especially busy with a number of Christmas parties and Santa appearances. They were the best thing about Christmas this year.

I was asked to play Santa for two kindergartens - Urushiyama and Okigo. Rather controversially I played the role sans beard - this had the effect of perplexing some of the children. But I was all ready in character to let them know that I was 'trying a new image and wanted to look younger'. They seemed to buy it - I played the piano and I dished out presents to each of them, they sang me songs and learn a few English words too. They were incredibly sweet and cute!
