(The below was written on Friday, 2nd August and not posted until today due to website failure. The photo is my favourite coin purse and is the only photo I took on Friday. I didn’t just take it because I love the purse, rather because I was explaining it to someone. I feel a need to have a photo with every post.)
It would appear that my website is well and truly down. I have discovered pages and pages of errors but absolutely no way, seemingly, of discovering what’s gone wrong or, more importantly, how to regain access to the site. This is very stressful. I have nothing positive to say about modern technology right now.
In my time of desperation, feeling a need to do something proactive and tickable from my huge August To Do List, I plan to write chapter 23 as I am far from being in the mood to tackle my wardrobe or certain other areas that need major time and effort. I enjoyed writing chapter 22, which I ended up writing about what I still consider to be 40 minutes that changed my life, one particular lesson I taught/guided while in Japan and which I am convinced made me into a significantly more confident person. For anyone else who taught in Japan, particularly through Nova, it was my first ever Voice (informal, guided conversational class) lesson which I spent the hours prior in a state of dread and terror.
Chapter 23 will also be about Japan but more about the place than what I learnt from teaching English in Japan.
I’ve now written chapter 23 but it ended up being more about life lessons learned than my time in Japan.
Website still not operational, but I am going on a course to learn how to make a website on Monday …
