There is so much bloody snow! I swear to God.

Everyday I have to shovel the stuff away so it doesn't crush our windows. In our back garden, if you could call it that, there is 6feet of snow. And it isn't the light powdery stuff. It's solid chunks of the stuff that weigh a ton! And everyday more slips off the roof and everyday we're outside clearing it away! It's becoming a bloody pass-time!

Anyways, I was supposed to Update this on Friday but I kinda forgot, but since no one can actually Chastise me, I'm not worried.

Last week was actually pretty dull to be honest. But we started back to work after a long holiday, so that helped pass some time. The nursery school kids we delighted to see us again, as was I to see them. I love that place, it's so cool. The first thing that some one said to me after they said good morning was, 'Asobou!' Let's play! Which involves me running after them, catching them, tickling them and all the while evading their kancho's.

I'll stop to explain exactly what Kancho is for those of you who don't know. At first I thought that it didn't exist. Steve McCorkell showed me this site where a guy is doing basically the same thing as me. And he had to put up with Kancho. I honestly thought it was a spoof, but no. It exists. And it's very very disturbing.

What it involves is: Little children clasping their hands together so that their index and middle fingers are sticking out. Sort of like a gun. But they don't run around pretending to shoot you. No... that I could put up with. What they actually do is run around trying to ram their fingers up your arse! Where this game come from and who invented it I do not know, but I do know this. If I ever find out, I will find that person and 'kancho' him. Only not with my fingers, no, that would be too forgiving. I'd kancho him with the Giant Phallus at Uwajima Sex Shrine.

Anyways. Apart from Kancho. The Nursery School is excellent.

I finally started back to the Hospital. Only to find that there are a few new patients. Fair enough that's OK. But one of them is really bitter and resentful for being there. She is cheeky and cruel. And mocks everyone around her! Also, the staff pay her no attention. Which I think makes here even more bitter.

The work there is boring too. Plus the fact that there is a fat twat working there who thinks I'm incapable of doing the work he does, even though I do it with the other staff. Normally it involves changing beds, helping the patients out of beds into their wheel chairs and wheeling them to the seating area. But this guy wouldn't let me help him, and made me play with the patients instead. Normally I wouldn't have any objections to doing that, but I already had done it, and the patients we getting bored. So when I had finished playing with them, he made me sit down and talk with them. I wouldn't have a problem with that either, but I don't speak fluent Japanese. I can hold my own when Talking about my Family, but I think they might hit me the next time I mention them, because that's all I can talk about, as well as the weather.

But from 12:30 it's lunch time, so I say good bye to that bit of the hospital for a week. From 2pm we work in Rehabilitation, AKA Physiotherapy, where we play games and sing songs. That part is cool.

Not much else to mention. This week looks to be very exciting. I finally get to start Kendo and Yosakoi, plus our ever faithful and legend of a friend, Shiro-san invited us to his house to get wasted!

So I'll let you know how all that goes!

Laters!
