Washing machine!

This week has been SOO crazy and busy. I never seem to have enough time to do everything, but that might be because I spend too much time procrastinating (usually on the internet!!) I went to get my Japanese license yesterday. I got pretty tired but it wasn`t an unpleasant experience. The staff at the centre were polite and helpful and I had my new license just over an hour after arriving at the centre. I had heard so many horror stories that I was really surprised and impressed!!! :-) The picture on my new DL is horrendous though!!! One of my student`s mothers, who is also a friend of mine decided last month to get a new washing machine so she offered her old one to us. It is a state of the art washer dryer with all sorts of functions and only a few years old so obviously we accepted her kind offer. She organised for it to be delivered and everything as she wanted it to be an early gift for the baby. These kinds of machines are pretty expensive so it was very kind of her to give it to us as she could have sold it instead. Our "new" machine was delivered yesterday and it is SO cool! I am scared to use it though in case I break it!!! ;-)The more time passes, the more I realise how lucky I have been with the people I have met in my life. I really appreciate everything so many people do for me and hope that one day I will be able to repay the favours..
