I almost feel like I was there. Almost.

Who were dudes who are re-developing Mt Granview again?

Some Gifu love

How's everyone doing with the --ing. Had a night off last night but really enjoying going out now in the cool evenings, even need a long sleeved top on sometimes.

Always interesting to see. But seriously -------- will it open this season?

This was nearly down to the 3rd page, no doubt put off by brit-gobs post! Nice and cooler now - bit cooler still please - and enjoying getting out in an evening.

Drinks are on gg!

Ah back now. Lots of eats and drinks. Back to work on Thursday for me. Back to the bike tomorrow I reckon.

Had a fine selection of food and drink myself over the last few weeks. Wonderful. Must have put some weight on though - and can actually feel it - and actually now looking forward to getting back out on the bike when I return to Japan soon.

Not long before I make my way back too.

OK that's me done. Gambarimashita! Off on a plane the day after tomorrow for a nice cool down and enjoying some relaxing time out of Japan. Did pretty well I think, certainly feel much slimmer. Back to it in September but it's 100% fun I'm looking forward to now. See you on the other side and good luck to those continuing!

I usually miss our towns firework display which is a shame. Maybe next year. They must spend a bunch of cash on those things.

Me, probably about 10 mins. My g/f, double that.

Nearly time for my holidays. Pretty happy with the progress made. I probably lost 7-8kg since spring and feeling lighter. Have fun everyone.

Not long to go now! I wish it would rain less though! Won't stop!

...Japanese people who seem ok going along with meetings "after work hours" without getting paid or much more than a "you must" kind of comment. Really riles me up that.

They look like Klingons. How come Tom Cruise doesn't?

Rain not helping my cause at the moment. Yeah I know excuses... but true!

Too fast!

Nearly had a bad accident last night on the bike. Unknown and unseen break up in the path I was on and I swerved round quickly only to fall over. Another 50cm or so and I would have been down a 2m ditch and possibly in real trouble. Note to self - be more careful.

Recently I have only been having 1 bottle of beer a week, at the weekend. It tastes amazing. I almost want to do the "Japanese beer ad sound effects" thing, it tastes sooo good!

Good. Rain has been getting in the way here as well recently. Sure there'll be more of that as well.

Probably best I don't see that screen, will want one! I see you can no longer buy th 17". Goodbye 17" Macbook.

40km! Thats a fair bit, 20km is about my limit in terms of retaining interest. Still doing well with it.

Going out for a nice meal tomorrow, a weekend treat. Been really cutting down every day and so I think I'll enjoy it even more than usual.
