My predicament

Well, I’ve made it back to London and of course it's promptly started raining again. It doesn’t matter that it’s been completely dry all winter: I'm back - rain starts. I was trying to remain positive about it since I don't actually live here anymore, so there's no need to get depressed by it. But following yesterday's events I can only describe the weather in this country as a curse. A week before I came back I was thinking that Japanese umbrellas must be better made than English ones because they last for months without breaking whereas English ones only last about two weeks. Yesterday I open up my wonderful Japanese umbrella and for the first time, without warning it breaks in my hands, rendered useless… (*Big Sigh*).

Otherwise, things have been okay - it's kind of nice to be back here. I keep discovering unexpected oddities like the uncovered loo seat at home being colder than the covered one in my flat in Tokyo. "Dang, dat sho iz cold on mah ass."
