 Photographs
One thing I did do today was to post another set of photos to the internet. Today's photos are of a visit I made to Miyajima last autumn, with Washibe-ku. I wonder if the ku will be organising a trip this year, too?

Actually, speaking of television, I switched on to watch Shoten, and there were about 10 minutes of the previous programme left. I was surprised to see Etajima's Seinen-no-ie, and moreover the majority of the JET AETs employed by the Prefecture!- it turned out that it was a programme about a summer English camp that the Prefectural BOE had held. I have to say that what I saw of the camp didn't leave me that impressed...

This is what Sundays should be like. A whole day of doing... absolutely nothing. Indeed, I didn't even leave the house! I read (or, more correctly, re-read for the umpteenth time) P.D. James, sent a few emails, and in the evening watched television.

The Officer Cadets who graduated from Etajima way back in March are due back in Japan tomorrow. They'll arrive in Tokyo (Harumi, presumably), and after a few days go off to their next posting. Some of them will be back in Etajima for a month or so- but I don't know whether anyone I was friends with last year will be coming back or not.
I wonder what it feels like to have been away for six months on a warship, to form such close bonds with your fellow cadets? I wonder what they're all feeling as they approach their final night on the ship?- I suspect it's a mixture of emotions, pleasure at getting back to Japan, coupled with a twinge of sadness that the six months are over.
