Turkeyyyy

Yesterday at the CIR meeting we heard all about what happens when you get the chicken pox in Japan. P was out of work all last week with it. Obviously it's not too flash to get this one when you are an adult, but he seems to have survived alright. He had little scabs on his face which are quite funny. Apparently when the kids get it hte parents have Chicken Pox Parties so their kids all get it at the same time and are then safe from getting it as an adult! Nice one. We spent a while discussing the logistics of cookig a turkey for Christmas and decided that it is basically impossible. Those of us who do have ovens wouldn't be able to fit a turkey in them and then there's the fact that we will all be at work all day so can't be watching the oven too. So no turkey. BOO>_<

I went shopping last night in Kurashiki. It was supposed to be me getting all my Christmas presents sorted out but really I didn't do much. I did find a few things, but it's hard to think of what to get everyone really. There are heaps of cute scarves and things going on, but it's hardly likely to be useful for those who are living in 40 degree heat at the moment!

Only 3 more weeks of school!! Well, 2 and a half really.
