Work, Play, and Dry Skin

On this warm (it's 16 C or 61 F) but windy day, we did 3 loads of laundry. When clothes are dried outside, warm weather must be taken full advantage of. We are well except for Yoko's very itchy back. For about 2 weeks now, she has been dealing with very itchy and dry skin. She is keeping well lotioned which is resulting in Erik having nice and soft hands. The pregnancy continues to go well, and we will have another checkup the beginning of February.
We are working; it's not full time, but at the moment we will take what we can get. Yoko is consistently used at the cram school to teach English while Erik has been subbing for the same company he worked for last year. In addition to the subbing, he is participating in public relation events for Narita International Airport. During this time of year the airport contracts with a local English school to provide native English speakers to go to the elementary schools and promote English. The last school Erik went to gave him miso which was grown and processed by the 4th graders of the school.
Last Thursday we were treated by a friend to a live play in Tokyo. She took us as a thank you for us helping her with her English. The play was performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company and Japanese actors. It was about the first Englishman to come to Japan, William Adams or Miura Anjin as he was named in Japanese. The play was done in both English and Japanese with subtitles for both languages. It was a very enjoyable show and gave us a look into Japan in the early 17th century.
