So all my careful planning was for nought. Its not good weather up Fuji this weekend so the next time I go will be in August with my parents. But I am definately climbing the whole thing this year. Definately.

I made myself very unpopular today. See the teacher thumping the kid yesterday, I couldn’t leave it at that. I think partly it’s because it’s plain wrong for someone to let a kid get them angry when they’re in a position of responsibility and actually acting on that anger. But at least partly it’s because … Read More

I would have just been witness to a sackable offence. My stalker from the third year is not a very nice boy. He was getting a thorough telling off in the staffroom by the art teacher, she was really shouting at him. I was doing paperwork when I heard the boy say something back and … Read More

So, I promised myself I wouldn’t climb Fuji like that again…well so much for Skimble’s protestations that she didn’t want to climb at night, she’s decided to climb on the Saturday night (can’t you just tell it will be packed!) and thus put paid somewhat to my desires to climb the whole mountain…or has she. … Read More

So strange, I was speaking to Blue Eyes…which is beginning to be a semi-regular occurance now I’m in Japan.

Sorry, bad guys. We’ve been bombed before, and we just adjust our day to account for it. … Read More

EbolaFan is in good shape, was very lucky he wasn’t on the tube from Aldgate…that makes me feel a little icky. He was my first kiss and was very close to being one of the 38 dead. Now let me get one thing straight before I get pissed off. I am a pacifist. I am … Read More

I really do feel as though I am quite far away on this island of the rising sun with it’s decorated Bamboo trees celebrating the love of Mars and Venus. Friends and Family all accounted for except one. I suspect EbolaFan as a medical student in London is a little busy to recieve emails at … Read More

All day I have been being congratulated on the Olympic Games, because as we all know it was my personal contribution to the country that caused them to choose London over Paris. I got home and made dinner. And London was bombed. As I write this there have been 6 explosions in the Tube, 1 … Read More
