Spring heat

Blimey. The last week has seen a dramatic change in the weather here in Saijo. It's like someone has turned on the heating and forgotten to open the window. And not being the greatest fan of hot, humid weather, you can bet that I'm welcoming this muggy change with a sigh of despair.

On a good note, this has meant that the Rice farming season has begun with the farmers flooding their fields. In the warm, close evening this allows a chorus of frogs to chirp away, and help send me to sleep.

The plethora of odd bugs have also started to appear, although thankfully I haven't seen any snakes yet (or millipedes, that just so happen to be poisonous over here).
