First things first... it snowed today! And the UK as always had grinded to a halt. The transport network is in bits, and even TV presenters are taking snow days leaving everyone else to pick up the pieces! Of course this gives me the chance to show of the capabilities of my new shiny camera. This was taken through a window on the easy setting. It takes the picture almost instantly, which is better than the other camera which took around 2 or 3 seconds to open and close the shutter after the button is pressed. Here's my back garden, excuse the mess!
I'm guessing this must mean that my Japanese studies have paid off? My certificate came in the post this week - I am officially certified for level 1 Japanese. That's about the level before GCSE. I'm wishing now that I'd taken it to level 2 because I would have had a GCSE equivalent! Just in time, I saw this amazing Japanese
nuigurumi book on etsy for a mind blowing price, and decided to try to find it elsewhere for less. Only having the cover (with Japanese title) to use as a reference, I got my geek specs on and quickly translated the title. The cheapest site for Asian books (although with rather frustrating customer service from previous experience) is always
yesasia.com, alas they are out of stock. I'm not one to sit around and be patient while they restock. I found out you can enter an ISBN into
BookButler.co.uk and it will search 115+ shops for the lowest price. Of course there are no shops that stock the book which is kind of the story of my life! Anyway, it looks like I'm going to have to fork out the £25 on etsy if I want this book any time soon. :(
