lazy





I am getting very lazy with this blog...........

I suppose everyone does.

Anyway, I went to Matsuyama. Famous for Natsume Soseki's books.

Sorry to say I have never read any of them. But I did go to Dogo Onsen.

It was very hot. I went into the hot spring bath house and had a tour of the emporer's bath.

The girl was kind and precise but she looked very hot. Poor thing.

I was impressed with the Botchan Stadium. I though Yoshiki is lucky to have such a

good home ground to play in.

Many people came up and talked to me. I was very pleased to meet some lovely people.

The supporters were brilliant. They put their hearts and soul into supporting the team.

On Sunday the heat must have been unbearable. I thought should be a bit more active.

It seems the parents of the players always play a low-key role and don't want to

stand out. It might give a bad impression if they support their sons in front of

other people. Personally, I don't care if people think I am "oyabaka".

I have been watching my kids play sports for a long time. Too long to be

"oyabaka" anymore. But it is hard to suddenly join in. (especially with the cheergirls and the ladies with the megaphones placards and whistles.

It might rain tomorrow..if it doesn't ,then I hope Mandarin Pirates can win again and go back

to the top of the league.

If any Pirates fans read this (sorry it is in English) Thanks very much for your kindness.

Please write to me in English or Japanese if you like.
