I've noticed that whenever I am workng I want to be holidaying, and whenever I am holidaying I want to be working... Next week I have plans to go skiing and meet up with a friend in Tokyo, but this week I have no plans and I simpy cannot motivate myself to leave the house. On the upside, my house is now so very tidy that should the Queen deign to stop by she would not be unimpressed. Or even my cleanliness obsessed friend, she knows who she is. Well, clearly I am out of the house today. I slept in quite late, (how sad that 9am constitutes a sleep in for me now) and in the sudden burst of energy that follows realising one is a complete lazy arse, did my washing, put all the crap away from the Christmas party (well, more like a gathering than a party) and left the house for the station with little idea of where I was going or why. I wandered about in Kurashiki for an hour and then continued on to Okayama where I drifted into this internet cafe. I also ate a scone along the way. Hmm, scones.
Did I talk about Christmas? I was a very lucky girl and received many great gifts. I even managed to get a chat on over the phone in with some people I haven't spoken to for a long time which was lovely. I think talking on the phone makes homesickness worse somehow. Probably because the person's voice is right in your ear, just like it is when you are calling from only the other side of Adelaide. Somehow I am always disappointed when I hangup and realise I am in fact in Japan and miles away from everything. Well, New Years isn't far off now. Hope you all have more exciting plans for the evening than me... I might be on the bus to Tokyo I think!
