Relief

A beautiful day not only in terms of the weather but also because, for the first time since Thursday night, I have been free of the side/back/stomach pain which has been persistently nagging me. Such a relief. I did a couple of hours of school work in the morning. Then, while Arthur was enjoying himself at the small neighbourhood fete in Ohigashi-koen, with food, games and bingo, I went for a lovely 22 kilometers run. Then, after a shower, I ironed ten shirts. I like ironing.

Looking forward to a fun, family game of bingo this evening.
