    Ok, I’ll admit it. There won’t be any more new posts until after the exams.

    This is how I study: pink cards for the textbook words, green for verbs, yellow for adjectives, white nouns and blue for phrases / anything else. Group 1 verbs are purple pen, group 2 orange pen, green for group 3. Gold pen for i-adjectives, pink for na-adjectives.

    Just in case you’re learning Japanese and haven’t worked out your own format yet ;)

    A was watching me colour green cards blue (I always run out of one colour or another by final exam time) and she decided to help me with a few she’d made herself … so sweet! As for M, she’s crawl / sit / crawling and pulling herself up to stand, practising really hard.

    I’m always optimistic studying won’t completely take over my life, but …
    See you in a few weeks!

    Yes, there’s been a recent site redesign. Sorry if you popped in earlier, mid changes … but as this blog’s not exactly a mission critical service, I make my changes incrementally and check them out on the (live) blog. I do back up.

    And yes, I’ve finally succumbed to the minimalist white craft blog look (do a little survey of major craft bloggers – most use white or another assertively neutral background). Interestingly, L doesn’t like the white look, he prefers brooklyntweed’s greens … is it a guy thing? I say “succumbed” because in real life, I’m much more maximalist … but I do appreciate that websites need different colour schemes compared to, say homes … or clothes … or toys. At least a minimal surround can show of brightly coloured photos…

    I really like mulberries. I know they grow like weeds here, I know they’re really messy (particularly the black sort, the white is better). But I like their taste. We had a spell of dry weather as the fruits were forming, I was reluctant to water due to the restrictions, so the first ones were rather bitter. I froze them and hopefully with a bit of apple and sugar, they’ll make a nice pie. I watered, now the newly ripened ones in the photo taste great ;)

    There’s a little neighbourhood wattle in the photo and an Uzbek bag, too.

    More “assemblage” than collage. Which reminds me, did I ever tell you I really like installation art?
