Canada Day

On sunday a posse of us met in Kurashiki to say goodbye to Christopher, Sarah and Ezra, soon to be departing Japan for home. It also happened to be Canada Day, celebrated in international style with Australians, Americans, Japanese, New Zealanders and two Brits kicking a football around while drinking cans of beer (who, me?)













Christopher and Sarah are truly wonderful people, not least because they gave me some tahini so I can fully realise my humous dream. If that wasn't enough of an excuse to lavish them with praise, they also happen to be the biggest Bob Dylan fans I have met outside of the Martin family. They'll be sorely missed, and I look forward to travelling to Canada some time in the future to see little Ezra inherit their passion for Bob and greek dips.

In other news tonight's pool match saw me claw my way back into the tournament after last weeks humiliated 9-2 defeat. I won 6-3 before Pip took the two consolation games to make the final score 6-5. That leaves us at Steve 5 Phil 4 with the weeks counting down before Phil and Carrie head back to Way-yels, and then on to Prague.
