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.
What is the dog`s name?
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”.

My faith in Japan has returned.
Says enough about the journalistic credibility of SMH.
