Clothes Line

It's the usual unpredictable British weather. Yesterday it was dry warm and sunny, today it's wet cold and miserable.

I've now finished watching Insomniacs After School. This is a wonderful series with beautiful artwork and animation, an excellent storyline and a great cast of characters. I really enjoyed watching it. This is definitely going on my list as one of the best series of 2023. I hope it gets a second season.

Steep Hill

Restore

A couple of slices of bread and marmalade, a bit of cake and a cup of tea.

It was a bit overcast and chilly earlier, but it's quite bright and reasonably warm now.

Quite right. I should have worded my comment better.

I was really pleased to read on Crunchyroll's news page that Sound Euphonium is to get a third season starting in April next year. I enjoyed watching the first two series so it's good to know that more of the adventures of Kumiko and her friends in the Concert Band are on their way. https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/latest/2023/8/4/sound-euphonium-season-3-anime-tunes-in-for-april-2024-premiere

Etymology

Sorry, man. That's really inconsiderate. Yes, it probably is, but then again the roommate should show more consideration. If you share accommodation with someone with different musical tastes to yourself you should listen on headphones.

This is why I wait until a series has finished airing and is all available. I have very little patience and waiting a week or so between episodes would drive me crazy! Back in the old days when DVD was the only way to, legally, get anime series they released one disk usually containing 4 episodes every 4 to 6 weeks and those 4 to 6 weeks seemed to go on forever!

Once

I got some strawberry Pocky from the aforementioned Japanese food store and from a stall at an anime con I attended, it was nice but my favourite is the dark chocolate flavour. From the reactions of my friends and workmates when I've offered them some Pocky English people aren't really ready for the cullinary delights of Pocky. They took one stick of Pocky and declined a second one.

I took out a sub to Hidive today and started watching Insomniacs After School. So far I'm up to episode 4 and enjoying every minute of it. Excellent artwork and animation, there's also a subtle humour in the dialogue and expressions of the characters.

While going round my local supermarket getting my weekly shopping I saw this on the shelf, we anime fans would know it better as Pocky, so I bought a packet to see if it's as good as the Real Pocky I got from a Japanese food shop when I was working in central London. And, yes it's pretty good, the only downside being that it's milk chocolate instead of plain.
