It is finally Sunday, and we’re getting ready to go back to our working ways. Although I had nine days off, Kuniko just had three in a row, so it is a little easier for her to back into the swing of work. It’ll take me a little bit longer, I think.
Golden Week was really good to us. I got a lot done here at home. I installed a drip irrigation system for the front of the house, which went a lot smoother than I expected. It was fun to rig it up, and I set up an automatic timer than controls things. The only thing I couldn’t find were some small plastic valves to turn on and off certain branches. Luckily I found some on the internet yesterday, so I ordered one and hopefully it will fit the bill. If the weather is good next weekend I’ll head back out there to finish the job.
Saturday Kuniko and I went out to the beach, and spent a couple hours sitting on the sand, collecting shells, and walking along the coast. This is the year of the beach for us – we’ll spend a lot more time on the beach before the year is up. It felt great getting warm sand between my toes. And it is hard to believe that it is only about a thirty minute walk away from our house.
I also finished my movie marathon. I’ll post some reviews of the remaining four movies coming right up…
