Hi all, I have had an interesting week this week which has culminated in me being on crutches with a brace round my leg - oh dear! The teachers and some of the parents play netball on a Wednesday night so I went along and within few minutes had fallen badly on my ankle - it felt ok after a while so I played on for another hour or so but by the time I got home my foot was the size of a grapefruit! So I had my first taste of needing medical care out here and it was very efficient I had an English speaking doctor who took 3 x-rays and told me that it wasn't broken - thank goodness! I have to go back in a week to see if I can come off the crutches - it is so frustrating moving round on them - I never appreciated how much I need both legs! In other news school has been going really well, the class has really settled. We had our PTA welcome evening the other night at a very posh restaurant; it was a chance for us to get to know all the parents and mingle but unfortunately due to my injury I just had to sit in a corner and enjoy the delicious food!
We are still enjoying all that Tokyo has to offer and went to Karaoke again last night but this time it was the same one in the movie 'Lost in Translation' so we had a great view - didn't improve the singing though! We are going on our first trip out of the city next weekend as there is a music festival in a place west of Tokyo in the mountains called Hakuba (www.evergreen-hakuba.com) and we are getting there on the 'shinkansen' (bullet train) which I am really looking forward to.
The weather is still swelteringly hot here and the rains seemed to have passed over for now so the air conditioning is coming into its own!
I hope all is well with everyone back home

Hi Anna!
I'm laughing my head off at the thoughts of you at Karaoke!! Do they have the Little Mermaid Song? Perhaps you could dance The Slosh on your krutches! Delighted to hear you are settling in well even if you are about to get hit with an ASBO for being a nuisance to local police! I'm still contemplating a visit but all insects and things with more legs than me will have to leave the area!! Love the site and all the gossip. Lots and lots of love from wet, miserable Ireland!!

Oh, poor you! Dang, that must be hard! Miss Croudace finds it hard enough to quiet us down without crutches!
Year Six is funky, but everyone is beginning to annoy me with the whole "OMGosh! YOU LIKE DOCTOR WHO TOO MUCH!" routine... yeah... apart from that it's pretty cool. Izy's first full day yesterday! Aww, he looks so cute in his uniform!!
We all miss you sooo much and everytime I walk past the Year Four classroom I talk about 'The ghost of Miss Guerin's teaching career in Clover Hill' so you are still missed alot!
Hope your still enjoying yourself and that your leg is okay!
