Pete Johns - Blog entries of the highest uptodateness

I’ve just watched what could be described as the US Formula 1 Grand Prix but would be more accurately be described as a farce.

Having survived the first day back in the office after our trip away, I figured that it was high-time I relayed some words and pictures about our recent sojourn to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

Oooh! I have finally got around to looking at a link that K sent me last week to the website of a new Disney film: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. According to IMDB, the film will be released in time for Christmas.

A few words, if I may (and I may), about a concert we enjoyed last night.

I have left it so long since I last blogged, that I forget all of the trivial things that I wanted to mention. Hey, ho. Less fat, more lean.

Sunday, Sunday, here again. So soon. I have to say that I have been so busy recently that this week has flown by. This has to be a good thing. Mrs J has been in Miami for four weeks now. In just under three weeks, my wife will be home. I hope the next three weeks pass as quickly as this one did.

From the television coverage, this afternoon, it looks like a beautiful day in the Loire Valley. Just under an hour ago, now, a large number of particularly fast four-wheeled machines started speeding their way around one of the greatest and most celebrated circuits in the world: Le Mans.

According to the clock on the laptop, it’s nearly four o’clock in the morning. Oddly enough, it was at half-past four when the alarm went off this morning. Now we have to start convincing our bodies that the clock on the laptop is correct, despite the fact that the sun is shining through the aeroplane window. This afternoon we shall be landing in London, marking the end of our holidays. If the first three quarters of an hour of this flight are anything to go by, I shall have bruises all over my coccyx, as the diminutive lady behind me seems to have very hard and very active knees.

It’s so good to be back in Tokyo. I’m sitting in friend TK’s living room. He and his Dad have kindly put us up for our stay here. S met us at the airport yesterday morning and, after a brief stop-off at his flat, where we met his wife and seven-month-old son, provided us with a tour of the shopping suburbs of Japan’s capital city.

Time really does fly when you’re having fun. This is our last morning in Australia and I’m sat, once more, at the patio table at B and M’s house. B is barbecuing breakfast for the six of us and it smells delicious. K is stowing the wine for our passage back to the Northern Hemisphere. A good opportunity for me to write about the past few days. I have been very slack both with the laptop and the camera over the past few days, which is a shame.
