Sorry, I haven't posted much recently. We have been keeping fairly busy. We went to the wedding of our friends Chris and Yoshiko a couple of weeks ago, which was very nice, in a rather traditional Japanese way : )
We have also been out doing our Christmas shopping. I participate in a purely advisory role, although a lot of my 'advice' seems to get shot down or ignored by Mrs G. The shopping and wrapping has been keeping Megumi busy, anyway, and we have almost finished.
On Saturday night, we went to a live house to see a gig. One of Megumi's friends is a budding singer, and she invited us along. The gig was good - 10 songs, all decently performed. Wayo(LINK), the stage name of the friend, has a great voice, and it was a fun evening. She changed her set, and sang a song called The Rose first. It was a present for me and Megumi...
The venue itself was a little odd. My early experiences of up-and-coming artists were in rooms above pubs in Sheffield, or in Student Unions. The place we went to last week did not serve alcohol, was non-smoking, and had lots of little bench seats lined up. It made for a rather strange, muted atmosphere for a concert, it has to be said...
Other than that, I am trying to prepare myself for starting the MBA by doing a bit of background reading. Financial Accounting is a particular favourite of mine - I'm really enjoying that textbook! I'm also trying to get in a bit of shape, so I have been trying to go to football practice as well as playing in games. It's a bit tough at the end of a work week, but I'm trying.
Finally, a bit of family news. Matt, my cousin, is doing better. He's in rehab, and is planning to get himself fit in time for his planned wedding in February 2005. My Dad also just had minor surgery, and he too is recovering well. He should be out of the hospital later this week. Take care of yourselves, Matt and Dad!
