La Japoneisa: Work, Work, Work,...Fun.

This morning then I was sent to finish off the kusakari, cut the kusa in front of the carpark. It was very satisfying again, since the progress was being made rather quickly. Since I came, except for building the chicken fence (of which progress was also quite visible as one could see less and less opportunities for the chickens to run away), I have been most often engaged in a rather destructive action and oh how enjoyable it is. I never thought it would have been but perhaps the fact that there is a combination of both destructive and constructive force makes it ever more attractive.
So yes, now I have a blister between my thumb and pointer, at the base of my pointer and two blisters between the third and fourht finger, I have my arms covered in hundreds little cuts from the thatch and in this one week I also managed to cut my head open on the tomatoe supports.

Anyhowz, in the afternoon, after a nice nap in midst of the heat, HanaChan and I were sent to weed Mason's fields. They look old and not cared for and just left to be. Hard work, but there was Pochi (a neighbour's cute funny foxlike dog) and there was HanaChan with whom I had such a laugh. We decided that if our new WWOOFer is boring we shall send him to the mountain on the opposite side of the valley to go and search for a hatake (cultivated field) that is definitely there. And cakes usually do have a graduation ceremony (mixing sotsugyoushiki and soudan suru) on which you are most likely to eat something salty.
