School returns at the beginning of Sept? so one more month of summer yet?<br /><br />Yes its odd to think of it that way.

Summer is slip sliding away, just as Steven noted.<br /><br />Sometimes with a slight but profound and mildly unnerving shift of consciousness, I feel what's actually happening at dawn, dusk, or whatever: the earth I'm standing on is rolling eastward, like a big ball, revealing new vistas of the objects in space around us.Dan Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11628603380292404658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-1835271223933371782009-07-24T01:37:54.522+10:002009-07-24T01:37:54.522+10:00Wow, again, Delwyn!

That is a good thing!<br /><br />With the heat and humidity on the rise here, the days seem to lag.

I don't think I am going to get to Japan this year, which makes me rather melancholy...but next year I will for sure. P & M are getting an apartment in Tokyo so it will be good to have a base there.
