Refuge of a Maladjusted Moose

Just thought I'd do a quick update on the weather. Mainly as I haven't posted in a while and figured I should. It's not like I haven't been up to anything, more that I just haven't felt like posting. So now you get to read about Japanese weather. Deal.

Anyway, to sum it up in a single word its been "Changeable". About a month ago it was still pretty cold, as we were just seeing off the last cold spell of the winter. Then about a weekend later I was out at a local festival (see pictures of festive activities in Lok's Pics to the side). The weather by this time had changed to a glorious 25 degrees. And to be honest that's a little hot for me but it was pretty nice non the less. This good weather continued on till the next weekend and spring was looking like a good time to be in Japan.

Unfortunately, this weekend past saw another change in the weather. The cold came back and it brought a couple of days of almost solid rain with it. During a local festival no less. And whilst this front will pass soon I think the thunderstorm I am experiencing during writing this can't pass soon enough. The problem with thunderstorms in this old wooden house is that it tends to shake the house. Needless to say I find this a little disconcerting.

Still, it could me nice this weekend coming. So I have my fingers crossed for that.
