| Happiness Japanese style |
|
Every Friday in Ichikawa, Tokyo Jeff runs an English
conversation class called Second Space.
"We get together for three hours to practice English,
share happy
memories and help each other with problems. We only
speak in english until
11:30 when we take a break. Everybody brings
something to eat, rice
biscuits, pocky or cookies and we drink green tea. At
the end of three hours
we're often tired from laughing so much," writes
Jeff. Here's their take on Happiness, Japanese
style.
Happiness is:
- hot green tea
- when I kiss my daughters cheek, it's so soft
- Taking a nap in front of the TV
- Hearing the word 'Tadaima' (I'm home!) when
each member of my family return home
- An unexpected telephone call from an old friend
- Finding a pair of missing glasses taking a warm
bath
- Blooming flowers in spring
- Seeing a light on through the window when I
return home
- the smell of miso soup
- Finding an ice cream in the fridge when I'm thirsty
- Lying down in bed after a long day
- My dog getting excited when I return home
- Seeing a flower in MY garden
- A movie that turns out to be much better than I
expected
- My husband offering me the bigger piece of fish at
dinner time
- hearing distant summer festival sounds like taiko
drumming
- Catching a taxi in the rain
- lying on tatami in the summer, the smell is so
good
- Listening to the sound of wind
chimes

| Tea time |
 |
The temperatures are rising on The
Tube and hayfever warnings are on the nightly weather
report, swimming in bathing ponds seems like a good
idea and Wimbledon is on tv, it must be summer.
To celebrate we have been making jugs of Iced
Happiness Tea and sharing it with all our neighbours.
Gill suggested that our iced tea would go well with
something "cheesy" so we set about making something
savoury for this month's afternoon tea.
These shortbreads should keep the sugar levels down
at least until we hear the sounds of the icecream van
arrive later this afternoon.
