Sat'day

Well Saturday evening approaches and there isn't a skerrick of fun in sight. R cancelled his birthday celebration plans and nicked off to Osaka because no one responded to the group e-mail he sent out inviting everyone. Of course, as soon as he cancelled it everyone replied saying they'd be there, but it was too late by then, he had cracked the shits with Okayama prefecture in general.

Well, in a State of the Ricefields update; they are harvesting the rice now so all the fields have black stumps sticking up out of the hardened mud and rows of bundled rice plants hanging upside down over A frames to dry. Everything is getting quite brown now, as things tend to when winter approaches I guess. Brrrrr
