Well thanks to the wonder of Softbank internet, this update is a good few weeks later than intended but many, some or at least a few of you will be very happy, mildly interested or unaffected by the fact that I indeed survived the ordeal of Hadaka Matsuri (Naked Men Festival).

Jon Edinburgh University folks: I understand that she may not be your teacher but please show support for Petition For Yoko Takahashi Sensei - Ed. Uni. isn't renewing the permanent contract of the Japanese department's best and most popular teacher. We have to support any movement to keep good teachers regardless of the subject.
