A total day of full relaxation *munches pocky, sips green tea*

Afternoon everyone *waves*, and this afternoon it’s Motoko blogging today, and it’s been a good morning and afternoon so far. Weather has been a bit dark, foggy and rainy, as well as very cold today I must say. So shall we see if it’s going to carry on? Let’s check out the weather forecast for our corner of Cumbria shall be now?

Now then it looks like this weather has set in for a while, and well at lest it is not snowing as of yet, but I am sure if we let it snow I shall yes? For now I am glad there is now snow, but you know, I am not to happy about all this rain either though. This means that work shall be tough for a while and turn out of the horses shall be monitored very carful from now on, as we don’t want to ruin the remaining grass. Our home as you know floods very bad with enough rain so I hope that the additional sand bags I have defended our front and back door with this morning do the trick. We also have now a broom, well two brooms in the porch ready to fight any floor water head on that may break though our defences, but it’s hard work I can tell you.

Today I have had off work and I am also off work tomorrow, and this is because I was leading a week long trek with Sam Mia, which went very well indeed and all the customers said that they had a really fantastic time which is good news! So as you can imagine I was rather worn out so Jenny gave I and Sam Mia a few extra days off work to recover. The few days off are as you can guess most welcome and today I have done nothing what so ever that can be called productive. Morning started off most lazy indeed and sat around house having a nice warm bowl of porridge in my underwear sitting in front of the fire. Then I sat down after I at last got dressed and finished off designing our daughters Christmas present from Jenny and myself. I know that Amanda is going to love it!

It’s been a bit of a “back To Your Roots” day for me, full of Japanese snacks, music, videos and speech. It’s nice to just not worry about my English and just speak in my natural language and play music in my natural language. I don’t dislike talking English but sometimes I find it hard when I am this worn out, and sometimes I find it hard to understand English speaking songs too when I am worn out. It has been nice to sit and watch anime and drink green tea from a can. Another Japanese snack I enjoy is called Koara No Marchi Choco, which are chocolate flavoured koala bear snacks. They have to be my all time favourite snacks next to pocky or green tea cake!

Been watching two of some my all time favourite anime shows, and they are Ghost In The Shell Stand Alone Complex, an Haruhi Suzumiya. Ghost In The Shell Stand Alone Complex was the main reason why I changed my named to Motoko, long story around that, but that is why I renamed myself to Motoko. It has a fantastic well written story as well, and is very deep and very engaging, the characters are also well planned out and each has their own deep background and small story behind them. I have all three films as well which are just as amazing as the anime shows. All the characters develop along the story as does the story around them and the setting which the story is set. It’s also very action packs and full of amazing fight scenes.

As for Haruhi Suzumiya, it’s so hyperactive and just funky that it can never fail to make me smile. It’s also slightly perverted on a very low non treating way, which I also what I really enjoy about it. It’s entraining and is light relief, it’s really a bit of stupidity to make people feel happy, and it really makes me smile. This anime is also full of school girls and bunny costumes, so what is there not to like about it!

About cumbrianvixens

Konnichiwa! Our names are Motoko and Jenny Carter, and on the 15th December 2005 we got married! We live in the chilly, wet place called Lake District, which is the wettest place in England! I lived in Japan from the age of five and only came back to England to live for good, one year after I and Jenny got married. I worked in Japan as a JASDF Pilot, and came back to England to visit Jenny. Jenny has always lived in Cumbria all her life, and has a rich Cumbrian accent, and was a member of the Territorial Army as a Medic. We both love horses and Kayaking, which are two of our greatest pastimes. We own a Beneteau First 30 sailing yacht, which we brought at the Southampton boat show on the 21st September 2011. Before that we used to own a Beneteau First 35 yacht. I and Jenny are owners of the yard the riding school, which we brought from the original owners in late 2010. We are now turning the yard into a horse trekking centre. Weather here is randomly sunny or wet, cold and damp. Never really an in-between weather pattern here! But if your kayaking and its raining you get wet anyway so weather doesn't really put us off working or doing out door things. I am pretty easy going and mostly very random, sometimes slow on the uptake as far as using English goes. On 4th of April 2011 we adopted a teenage girl called Amanda, who we had been fostering a few months before we decide we would take the next step and adopt her. I and Jenny have always been happy with the way our relationship was but there was always something we both agreed that was missing. That something of course was a daughter or son. After a few months of fostering Amanda we decided to adopt her, and we feel that our relationship is now complete and that all three of us are very happy.
