Progress...well, sort of.
So, I went down to Zushi again today. I have not been down there very much over the last few weeks and when I do go, it tends to be in the evening with a quick return the next day. The good news is that I bought a proper bed and the futon can be retired until someone visits. Since it might be you, I won't complain about my sore back after sleeping on it.
Also, the weather has been kind of strange. And when I say that, I mean it has been raining. This is a picture from the front porch of my Tokyo place on Monday...
So, of course I didn't really fancy going out. But the weather got better today, thankfully, since I had scheduled my bed delivery. They said they would come between 9am and 2pm, so I took the 7am train to make sure I was there on time. They told me it was very unlikely it would be early, but better safe than sorry, right?
Anyway, I took this picture from the train. Poor Tokyo-bound commuters...the sun is finally shining and they have to pack themselves into a train for the next hour just for the privilege of working the rest of the day. Rest assured, there were not many commuters taking the Tokyo-Zushi route this morning!
The delivery guys came around 12:30pm and were surprisingly quick about it. And so now...there is a bed. I need to get a comforter and proper pillows, but this will do for now. From the other picture, you can probably tell the apartment is filling up.
And the best news...
The beach is looking good again. After the typhoon, it was covered in debris, trash and seaweed. It is all gone now! Woo! I went for a walk today and had a look around. On the other end of the beach, the junior high school students were getting sailing lessons. How cool is that? I mean, really. They even have mini sailing boats they use. Awesome.
Also, I have created a new category for entries...Zushi Life. I will try to put all the beach-related entries in there from now on.
