Every day our morning routine proceeds while the TV morning show is on. One of the segments they always do is famous people passing away recently, and as you might expect, in a country as old as Japan this happens quite a bit. You can always tell because they change the background music into a slow, sad, piano number while they show film of the recently departed in slow motion. This happens just about every morning, and it is starting to get a little depressing.
So the weekend is nearly here. We’re going to host the Fukumis for dinner tomorrow night, and so the task falls to me to clean the house and cook dinner for them tomorrow. I think I may get a start on cleaning tonight when I get home. Kuniko will probably be out late tonight due to a school event, so I’m on my own. Maybe some cleaning, some loud music, it should be fun.
