A collection of interesting fragments from the web, books or life - things that have some relevance to my daily life, Japan and my work as a translator.

Catching up in the sun
We kept threatening to go away for a long weekend somewhere, and David was away on a business for his birthday, so we combined the two snd are in Malaga for a few days.
Zurich was looking very Christmassy before we left, but oh so cold.

Twinkle twinkle
Back in Zurich. The inbox is half-defeated, but the hardest things have been left lurking there. I haven't even had time to write thank-you notes, this week has been so busy. I have, however, managed to eat halfway sensibly and go swimming three times! I've signed up for a year's membership at the local pool, and annoyingly haven't been able to go since. Now I just need to learn to swim a real stroke. Being there on Wed night with the training triathletes was somewhat daunting.
In other news, it's cold. I need to find my coat and sew the buttons on, I even managed to find the new buttons while unpacking after the move. My friend Gerry should be touching down about now, she's here for the weekend to see the Christmas markets, and I'm taking her to Miyuko's tomorrow as it's her birthday on Monday!
