it's very warm in fukuoka now. i haven't used the air conditioner yet (well, i did yesterday, but it was for the baby while he took a nap). but i'm getting really hot these days. yesterday when i put the laundry out i felt like my skin was starting to burn in the sunlight.

and the bees...i'm getting tired of the scary wasps and hornets. *shudder* the wasps started building a new nest on the storage room. yoshi sprayed it with bee killer, but a wasp was buzzing me again yesterday. also yesterday, when i was going to go shopping for dinner, one of those icky hornets was in the pine tree. it scared me so i went out the back door. when i came back i parked in front of the house and noticed something in the rear-view mirror. i thought it was that hornet so i waited a second and sure enough, it inspected the car, even flying close to the driver's side window. *shudder* i drove around the block and went back into the house through the back door. i really really really don't want to be stung. when we saw the house last year we thought it was great because of the garden, but now i'm not so sure. i told yoshi about the hornet when he got home and he said he knew of a trap and hopefully that will take care of the problem...

looks like rainy season will begin this weekend. on the one hand i'm looking forward to it, but on the other i know that this house is just going to mold up....
