It’s cold and wet! We have to be in Tochigi tonight, but for now I had to get my backlog of mail sorted out (the servers have only just settled down). It was also really nice to get so many complementary emails, it really helps make up for the rain when so many people write to say they appreciate the work I do. I also put up the Christmas decorations on the site! Then off on the Shinkansen to Tochigi. Tomorrow we have a consult at a kindergarten (it’s a special case!). So tonight the head teacher took us out for a very nice teppanyaki dinner. Mind you I had to work for my dinner, with every two minutes getting told how foreigners are different from Japanese people!
