Today, I just could not continue with the double forks.
It was raining in the morning, so I concentreted on doing things
I could do sitting in my own room over a few cups of coffee.
I am now fairly convinced that I will be departing for our
mountain villa on Monday 20 July. Since we do not have internet
connection nor TV I must take a few books to read in the evenings.
These and a few others, I will be taking with me. The trouble is
that each can be finished in 5 to 6 days. I will not be coming
back here until 30 August (or even later) so how I spend my
evenings is a very serious matter indeed. If I run out of books
to read I may pop over to a bookshop and buy some in Japanese.
These above are the chopstics I prepared for the final
mat coating for this coming Sunday. I will also be busy with
loading my car with things to take to the cottage.
Since my mother is now hospitalised and since my wife is
not coming with me I will be loading all of the space
available in the car. That will help.
Now, this one above, an odd-man out re coating done
today was actually put into real use with our hiyamugi
noodle lunch today.
I am very, very happy that it worked as I had intended it
to do! Ever illusive noodle mound just behaved as I wanted!
You just stick the thing into the mound and turn it
through 180 degrees or so. Noodle threads just cling around
the 4 prongs. All you then need is to lift the whole thing and
rotate the thing in reverse direction.
It is very neat. In fact, my wife suggested that it can be used to
lift tofu blocks as well, adding that she had seen something
like this before in Kyoto.
If that were the case this invention of mine may sell throughout
the year. Naturally, I just do not have time to produce
these for the summer market. However, I will find time
in late October to mas-produce these. With respecto to
the double forks I will complete some and leave them with
girls so that they can try them out.
Re my web logging I have now decided that I will continue with it
through my mobile. They will be much, much shorter
than my PC versions, but you will be able to see
photos of crucial stages in my house construction process.
Conchita, there you are. Send me a mail re your baby daughter
needing a baby set of chopstics. She will sure have it made!
