Tom was finding it hard to keep awake during our discussion of watches. The teacher asked him, "And is that a clock over there, Tom?" He slowly stirred on hearing his name, saw the teacher pointing not far from the map and promptly said, "Germany."
Languages are perennially entertaining. The Japanese for propelling pencil is 'shaapu penshiru', from the English sharp pencil because it is always sharp (one presumes). Martin had his propelling rubber out today. Now, a rubber is normally 'keshi gomu' but to get the propelling part across the teacher called it a 'shaapu keshi gomu'. A sharp rubber. I liked that.
I swam again. Then we went for sushi. It was all right but not as good as the sushi from the other day. I grabbed a few snaps but didn't get one of the elver sushi. Or whatever it was. Tiny white fishy snakey things. On one bite sized piece of sushi there were maybe 20 or so. Little wrigglers.
