La Japoneisa: Rain, Rain, Rain in the Mountains

I was woken up by the hypnotic sound of raindrops falling onto the roof, the windows, the porch, into the dim grey light of a rainy day.


Another day off forced upon us. Hurray! Another day to be spent making things.
Annie came up to have her breakfast and then returned to the log house to enjoy her day off, Hana chan came and went and so it was Bo and I in our kingdom again.
I started making a case for postcards and letters that could also hold the letter knife I made the other day, however somehow I miscalculated during the measuring process and so The Thing turned out to become an iPod and a tissue case. Good enough for me. It’s cute, rather unbalanced and wobbly in its cuteness but it seems to serve its purpose sufficiently well. When I was almost finished with it Ichioka san visited, had a bit of a chat and a cup of ocha with us, complimented us on our handicrafts and was off again. He is so adorable. Just as is Omo san and Masao and Eiji (in a thought-evoking strangely different sort of way, as to what regards Eiji and Masao, I would say, but still endearing).
The day went by and to say the truth, as much as I love not doing anything and appreciate a day off, by the end of this second day of forced off I didn’t know what to do with myself and could not wait for the next morning to come so I could do things again.
Still, gotta love days off :-D!!!
