Ah The Jet Lag

Friday 20th October

First of all …. Happy anniversary to us. 22 years ❤️❤️. Blimey!

This is the best place to be celebrating our anniversary….. tho I wish the weather could be better.  I know Storm Babet is hitting the UK big style - but this is the first day of our holiday and it’s bloody pissing down …..

However, Friday has been a bit of a right off. We both thought our jet leg would be minimal as we would be going to bed at a reasonable time on Thursday night (me about 12:30am and Scott about 1:00am) . .  .

WRONG

So bloody wrong ….. I passed out for all of about 2 hours then woke up - couldn’t get back to sleep so cup of tea and read my book for a bit (Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin if your interested - it’s really good so far).  Managed to get back off about 4, then up again at 6 …. Dozed back off again but gave up about 8 and got up.  

As I was alone - I put on the telly to watch some amazing Japanese TV … Japanese TV has to be seen to be believed. I love it …. I have absolutely no idea what’s going on - but the crux of one show I was watching was adult people from different sports wearing a helmet with bunny ears, trying to dodge another guy (not wearing bunny ears) who was trying to pull the ears of their head …… brilliant TV.

Scott was sleeping just as bad but he persisted and managed to sleep to the early afternoon …. He got up feeling guilty about missing most of Friday only to find out that there was nothing to miss as it had been raining all bloody day ….. it was constant.

We decided the best thing to do was go out - even in the rain …. So we went off to find some supplies …. And hit the local supermarket. I forgot how much fun it is to shop in a Japanese supermarket …. Having really no idea what you’ve picked up is all part of the fun - then getting it home to find it’s the complete opposite of what you thought ….   However, I stuck with sushi …

YUMMY

We came home the long way round - but we were soaked …. So back to the house to dry off, eat and try that sleeping thing again …..  

We’ll try again tomorrow…….
