Remember, Remember..

..Wow! Where did November go!?

November 5th is Fireworks Day in the UK, so while doing some night time fishing, Toshi and I played with some sparklers:
１１月５日はイギリスの花火の日。釣りしながら、花火をやりました!

 <-- Before and after! -->

We made tempura, which is deep-fried battered fish (^-^)/

A GIANT pear from one of my students! (Yes, that is a pear and not an apple.)

Toshi will enter a half-marathon in Tokyo on Dec 15th, so I've been accompanying his training (on my bicycle of course!). 15.6km each way 4 times has really bulked up my leg muscles!
トシくんのマラソントレーニングに自転車でついていった。

 頑張って！

A trip to see the Autum leaves last week ^^

I now babysit a friend's baby once a week, and he's so cute! (*^^*)

And finally, I got a Japanese Driver's Licence! Woohoo!

Alice's Adventures in Cosplayland

November 3rd was 'Culture Day' (文化の日), a National Holiday (also known as a 'day off'), so Yoko-chan and I decided to wear our Halloween costumes at an Alice in Wonderland-themed Cafe in Shinjuku and indulge in Cosplay Culture~~☆
Photo shoot!

An Unbirthday Tea Party!

 

Finishing with a Disney-themed Karaoke session (and more tea!)!
