That's right, I'm back in the north, albeit just for a weekend. And a busy one it is!
Yesterday I visited the barber (not paying Southern prices), the doctor, a friend in Manchester, a friend in Denby Dale and found time to give blood and sign myself up to donate Bone Marrow.
I'm glad I've done that, as there's so few people registered to give bone marrow, and it's such a crucial thing for saving someone's life. I am also an organ donor and a regular blood donor... so if there's anything else of me anyone wants, just let me know!
Today my mother returns from India where she has been volunteer-working with disabled children for the past month. So I am back to welcome her home!
And Paul Tibbets, the pilot of Enola Gay and the man responsible for dropping the bomb on Hiroshima, has died this week aged 92. While this is sad news for some, I am certain it will be met with other reactions amongst certain Japanese people.
The bomb was responsible for the deaths of at least 140,000 Japanese people. That's from the Japan Times website.

Discovering London - and a live date for my music!
As I have a friend staying with me this week, I have found myself to be discovering more of London as we look for places. Yesterday saw my discovery of Spitalfields Market, which is fantastic! So many really great things, really old, unusual items.
Today I aim to find Harrods and Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge (birthday present shopping!) and the London Dungeons, which should be fun!
In other news, I have had a pub recommended to me for playing live music. So on Monday evening, I will playing The Perseverance's open mic night. It's near Baker St station, on Shrotton Street (Shrotton Road?), so anyone who wants to come, please do!
Japan Times reports that Japan's new Prime Minister, Fukuda, has downcried an office set up by his predecessor whos aim was to make Japan a 'beautiful nation', calling it a waste of money.
Of all the places that I have travelled, Japan had to be the most beautiful country. Although, as I understand it, it is not without its problems in terms of environment. As a primarily urban country, the majority of the population live in the cities, many of which are crowded together in certain areas.
でも、日本はとてもいい国です。 私の一番好きです。
