Another This And That Post

 It's January! Usually, this time of year is cold. The temperature usually hovers about the 10 °C mark. This week, however, has been very warm. Today it was 19 °C.

I had a little walk around the garden. Yes, it's still a disaster, but if the weather stays this mild, maybe we can do a bit this weekend!

I took a little video while I was out. The birds were really singing. I think you'll have to put the volume up to hear them, but for me, it was so nice. I never realised how quiet the winter is. In the other seasons, there are noises from different animals, birds and insects. I'm always amazed at the noise the insects can make; for such small creatures, they can really make a racket!

Took a couple of photos of a few flowers we have.

Nice bit of colour

A few more interesting photos from the past few days!

Rently?

This was a truck that we were following the other day! I think Marujun is a name, but rently? I love how the Japanese take English and use it in a very unique way!

These next photos are what happened when Mikey dropped his cards. 

When we are waiting for students at the community center Mikey sometimes practices his card routine. But of course, he occasionally drops them. However, I've never seen them land like this before.

The card is in the tatami mat!

If he could do that on purpose, it would be a good trick!
