Summer time activities   

Hi folks

wow it`s raining cats and dogs outside...as I write this sitting in the lounge of Dk House.. ( it`s a lot quieter now that David`s gone.. not to mention Jann too.. just jiving guys )

Some of you will have heard this ' cats and dogs ` expression before. We use it when it`s raining heavily. I have no idea where it comes from however.

Well what a year. The World Cup season rolled nicely into the Beer Garden season. And now happily for me it`s the rugby season and my beloved ` All Blacks` ( New Zealand`s National team ) are having a great season .They are currrently unbeaten and have beaten the South Africans 3 games in a row.

Actually thats why I couldn`t attend the last Chit Chat party as it clashed directly with one of these Test matches.

As some of you know I was away for just under two years and came back to Sapporo in Feb.( actually 6months to the day tomorrow ) I had forgotten just how many Matsuris and festivities there are in Sapporo during Summer.

I loved the Beer garden. Even though I don`t drink alcohol anymore the party atmosphere was magic. What a shame the lawn areas were closed off. Oh well hopefully the `powers that be ` know what they are doing.

On the second to last day about 20 foreigners dressed up in fancy dress...( I did my tried and trusted body paint again from World Cup time which was a big Wow for many people ) People loved it. It was the third year in a row so hopefully the event will get bigger and better.

My other big news is that I am playing golf on Sept 5th and it will be my first game in just under 3 years. If I can break 100 .. i.e shoot 99 or lower I will be happy

ok readers...
big namaste hugs

see you in the cafe
