Not so horrid children
I had to teach a children’s class today.
Luckily for me, one of the children didn’t turn up. so I was left with one little girl by herself. She behaved! We had fun AND she learnt stuff.
Ahhh.. Now just a little bit of my fear of children has lifted.
I was craving fruit when I finished work this evening, so we headed over to the fruit shop I had noticed across the road. The fruit shop wasn’t a juice bar as I had expected, but a store that sold fruit packaged as gifts.
I spied a lovely bunch of big green grapes but nearly died when I saw the price. They were $70.
Seventy. Dollars.
It was a regular sized bunch of grapes…
This hardly compared, however, to the mango that was $110.
One mango.
…
I don’t understand.
Thank god they have the prices written on the shelves. We settled for a little tub of pineapple. A bargain at $5.
The cherry blossoms have bloomed; they appeared yesterday. Patrick walked me through the park to see them on the way home, but they were not as well lit as we expected them to be, so it was a little difficult to see. Despite the bad lighting, there were still plenty of merrymakers happily getting sloshed under the blossomed branches.
Better luck in the daytime tomorrow!
We had dinner in one of our budget eateries tonight. This place makes lovely fresh tasting udon plus beef bowls or curries. They also have a great selection of tempura battered bits and pieces to add to our trays. We can both happily stuff our faces here for only around $10 for the two of us. Excellent! I also like the picture out the front of the little girl enjoying her udon.
