Yet another lazy day, mooching around my burrow while it drizzled outside all day. It's rather frustrating killing time until Monday, because I have to wait for the travel agent to open again to finalise my ticket. They are not very efficient - it took the oompa loompa two hours to tell me that the flight I wanted to fly on was full - two hours from when I paid my deposit. At least, that deposit is transferrable to whichever flight I end up on, so that is OK.
By this time tomorrow though I should have my exact departure date, time, and location fixed (Might be Tokyo, might be Osaka) - and of course that means my exact arrival time too... I cant wait, knowing that in two weeks I will be out of here, gone from Sendai, gone from Tohoku, gone from Japan.
Japan itself isnt a bad place - I know I had fun here, so much fun that I extended my visa when I was here four years ago. And even this time around, I have had fun. Just, none of the fun times were related to Tohoku Uni. Still, I can't wait to leave, and will post details of precisely when I shall do that.

My address, too, will of course change. Anything posted to me up til know should make it to me before I leave, but I wouldnt like the chances, for anything yet to come. Here is my new address, valid immediately if anyone wanted to post us some Dairy Milk, though I shan't be living there myself until in a couple of weeks.

This is from a reliable source (Sarah), not Uchiyama san, so it is accurate, this time, I promise!

Should be heading back to the burrow soon... getting rather hungry. Wonder what's left in the cupboard for grazing on...
