the sun is shining . . . where to go? when to go?

it rained for most of yesterday. and i stayed home for most of yesterday. i did have a little adventure to . . . 711. we are glad that konbini (convenience store) is doing well as it is . . . very convenient. i think i forgot to mention the kaki (persimmons) i can see from the window. i hope to have some soon. for dinner, we had a delicious onabe dinner. more with photos later. today is a big day for Noriko as it is another Kobukuro concert day. after school in Akashi she will meet another fan/friend who is traveling all the way from Yokohama and they will go to the concert at Osaka-jo Hall. i know they will have a great time. time for me to get ready for my walk to Minoo taki (waterfall). it is a little cool so i guess i will have to wear pants which is a big change after 2 months of just wearing shorts and a t-shirt. of course i will also wear my Canada (Roots) sweatshirt. hopefully Noriko`s Mother won`t insist on me wearing a jacket : )
