Becoming nuts and the fire flies.
Anyway! All i wanted to do was write a blog about becoming nuts with the kids and seeing fire flies. Where I am now is still in the office, without a cash card, hungry and it`s already 20:23.
Yesterday the main afternoon activity was `rythmic`. It ususally consists of listening to one sensei play the piano and the rest of us moving accordingly to the rythm given.
And so it was yesterday. We were hopping around like rabbits, walking like horses (possibly kicking surrounding English language teachers in the nose while making the usual horse noise `eeeeahahaha`), flying like butterflies, jumping like frogs, gliding like dragonflies and eventually we were to become a どんぐり [donguri]. Since none of us had an idea what a どんぐり could possibly be in English (and they let us teach??!!! and pay us for it too!!!!!), and since we knew it kind of resembled a nut of some sort, we were, in the end of the lesson, all becoming nuts. It was rather charming. We were rolling on the floor from one side to the other under the supervision of Emiko sensei who showed us how to become nuts, we were all rolling having the best time of it and with Lionel sensei we were rolling and laughing rather maniacally, shouting `We are nuts and we are happy!`
I enjoyed yesterday`s class very much.
In the evening Lionel and I went for a nice walk in the fields that we`ve only discovered last week, really close to our house, in fact just across the road and over a small hill, and decided to make it a sort of weekly routine. The walk.
And as we walked and as the evening was slowly falling upon us, as it became darker and darker and as we finally could see nothing except for a bright blue light blicking somewhere in a distanced field in front of us, suddenly we could see a bright yellow light blicking somewhere in not so distanced front of us. A small one. And again, no more than one. I at first thought it was a cat, an either frantically moving one, so you could see only her one eye and only at certain times, or a half blind cat twisting her head from right to left or...well, I didn`t get further in my deductive analysis before I found out that it was a thing moving in the air, speedily moving towards us to pass us with no interest at all, blicking a bright yellow light all this time.
It was a fire fly!!! A Japanese fire fly! The European ones, once it gets dark they just shine. Pepetually (if you`re not sure how many `l`s you are supposed to write in a word if the word doesn`t look good with one but neither with two, is it okay to write three? Perpetuallly.) And they shine and shine and shine until it gets light again and you can`t see how they shine anymore.
But the Japanese ones, very closely reminding me of the Japanese energetic system, seem to work on a power saving mode and instead of just shining constantly they blick. And also, they seem bigger. But again, I have only seen two of them yet, so I can not press this matter further and present the results of mere observation as true and valid facts without any evidence, really, can I?
Fire flies, fire flies, their bum shines!
(they have a candle in their ars!)(a little more expressive artistic expression I would address it).
Anyway, the reason why I am without a cash card is because I first have to apply for an account before I can actually open it. So that`s what I did. And the reason I am hungry is because I haven`t had any dinner yet.
And I`m not going to say the reason why I am still in this office for I believe it to be rather obvious.
PS: And if anyone thinks I am going crazy, I am not, it`s just that I`ve been reading The Hitch Hiker`s Guide to the Galaxy, full five parts of the trilogy, for the last week and a half and it seems to have a sort of mind-wandering effect on me.
And if you think that now it is when I am crazy, just wait, you haven`t heard my next travel itinerary yet!
