Jottings

So much for the good intentions of transcribing the holiday journal into the blog. It's not going to happen. Life is too full of other things at present. Latin classes, bridge club, lots of lunches and I've joined a gym. Trying out various classes - Boomer Dance (modified Zumba for oldies), Pilates, and Body Tone ( lots of stretching) as well as a more usual workout on the equipment on my own. Maybe I'll stay motivated this time and get the value from my membership.

Eion goes to Japan in about 2 weeks - he is spending time in Kyoto and Tokyo (seeing temples, of course!) But he is also walking the ancient imperial highway (what's left of it) between the two cities in a tour group, staying in traditional Japanese inns along the way. Because the custom is to bathe at night, and he didn't want the others to see his "bed hair" in the mornings, he has had a number 2 close head shave. Had to wear beanies for the first few weeks, because his head was cold!
