Actually looking forward to summer

Yes, I know, nobody sane would be looking forward to Japanese summer (it's so hot and humid) ...

But I do have good reasons:

• Hay fever, to be more precise: Japanese sugi tree allergy
• The air is so dry in winter: my skin, eyes, throat, lungs etc are just in need of humidity
  
• Super busy March with my last AFWJ Journal (April edition)
• April looking only slightly better, with handing over of the Journal editor job to the new volunteer (including writing up the making of a Journal)
• Starting on my new volunteer job as the AFWJ Webmaster (will get the software, files and others later this month) and getting to know the new software
• BA in French exams in May and ideally study for the exams before the exams themselves

Since I have to FOCUS, I decided to postpone (again) the application to the translation certification program. I will get there, eventually.

busy busy busy ...



PS oh, by the way, I did finish my poncho. Looks not bad. And is warm too. A little too casual for work, though (it was originally meant to be worn on light spring clothing.

(picture taken on the old kotatsu that never worked and that should really be thrown away---isn't Momo cute, checking the poncho ?)

(my messy crafts room/corner in the back---this room hasn't seen me much these days---it will soon be time to work again on summer pants/trousers --> one more item on the TO DO list)
