Settling in

April 22nd, 2007 by Adamu		 Adamu

This is what life at Mrs. Adamu’s house is all about: a tiny dog, sitting on a low couch, and two newspaper subscriptions. Life is good.

      Man, you are WHITE! Don’t they have sun in Thailand?

      In fact last week I was badly sunburned after a trip to Hua Hin beach. That’s what a week of cloudy Japan weather will do to a white-boy like myself.

      Dog’s name is Chap (it’s a female dog, but the name sounded good at the time)

      That’s funny. Normally Japanese dogs are named after dead French emperors, American silent-movie stars and the like. “Chap” short for “Chaplin”, maybe?

      Can’t remember, but I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with any of those.

      Not dead or French, but a dog that belonged to a family I stayed with in Kyushu was called “Hardly Windsor”, which was a rather good name for a dog….

      Mrs Adamu has a nice place. Looks like a garden out there. I think I remember what a garden is, at any rate….

      I liked “Taking Charge”is linked as related post.

      You with Pomeranian and newspaper in the hand do look like ideal old school Japanese husband.
      All it takes now is to remove T-shirts and shorts with blue yukatas and say
      “Oi,where’s my coffee”.

      Says enough about the journalistic credibility of SMH.
