Going completely against the chronological order of events here is an update on today’s happenings! By far the single most important thing, and in fact the only thing I am going to talk about it, is that today was the first day of snow of the year in Toya! Yata! Like a child on Christmas morning I woke and opened my curtains to see the snow falling all around. After waking Craig to give him the big news, we bundled up and went to work at the Nursery. Work was as usual, apart from many of the kids started crying when we went for our walk due to the cold - poor things. The snow got heavier as the day went on, and we watched eagerly, hoping it would stick and Toya would be transformed into a Winter Wonderland.
As so it was! After we finished at the Sogo centre we went outside to indulge the inner child in a brief snowball fight, in which we were rather randomly joined by Namiko. Now, cold and wet we went home to dress more suitably for the occasion. Donning full on Ski gear and Snow shows we headed back out to the little garden in front of the Sogo centre (the only place which has lighting) and started to make giant snowballs. And that’s where we stayed for th next hour or so, crawling around on our knees in the snow. By the end Craig’s was woefully inadequate next to mine - a point I mentioned a few times! After a quick skate along the black ice to the Tag for dinner we came back out to finish our work. Originally we had wanted to have a head high ball going, but somehow I think that would have taken us hours. Instead we erected a snowman outside the entrance to the Sogo centre. Its the prank of the century and no-one will ever know it was us!
