It's my life...I like it

My life the past week (or couple of months really) in a nutshell:

Work

gym (once)

Sleep

Alarm...

Weekend: drink; sleep; wake; eat; shower; dinner; drink; wake; bird; eat; sleep; dvd; sleep...

Work etc

Went for dinner with the gang from work on Saturday evening to celebrate a birthday and then went home due to falling asleep after a couple of pints (not the company's fault). PJ's good mate from home, Michael, went back to Oz on Monday so we had some mighty drinks on Friday night and a nice dinner in an Italian pizza joint near home on Sunday evening. A good man and good craic...

Sunday went birding with Neil but it was not very exciting by Japanese standards. The best of the day was the red-eared terrapins (see above) trying to warm up on the rocks heated by the winter sun on the Yamatagawa...it is getting very cold now. The ski slopes in Hokkaido have opened so the snowboarding season is about to take off big stylie. In fact, a gang from work are heading up to Sapporro in Hokkaido on Thursday this week for a bit action...steady. Unfortuntaely due to the fact that I am taking all my available holidays to go home for a bit of a break, I was not able to join them. Maybe in the new year before the season ends...However, I am glad I am taking all my hols to get home for a bit. It has been a while...

Lastly, I would like to congratulate Rua and KS on their engagement a couple of days ago...magic lads. Bon voyage to my bro heading off to Dubai today for the next year or so anyway. I will be out to visit fella, it's only an 8 hour flight!!!!

Carmo's Diet: this week, I have mostly been living on low-fat latte

Carmo's Birds: Black-faced bunting; Bull-headed Shrike; Mongolian, Slaty-backed, Kamatchka, Black-tailed and Vega gulls.

Carmo's Birds for Byrdy: Vanessa Paradis

Hi Mark,
Sure those manky Red-eared Terrapins were, until this year in Morocco, the only terrapins that I had seen in the wild, due to feral populations in Spain and France.
Just keep thinking about your imminent return, and the time will fly by....
