I'm so glad that tsuyu, the rainy season, officially ended two weeks ago according the Japanese Weather Bureau. I guess that fact this it's been pissing rain for three days straight is just some kind of weather anomoly? As well as the 5 degree Celsius drop in temperature?
At practice was not unforgivingly hot and humid! And damn but I was feeling good and doing well if I do say so myself. My grip felt solid and my cuts clean and fast. Still have problems with timing and upper-body positioning, but I actually felt like I've made some progress.
After practice we went for dinner and Ohtsuka-san entertained us with his tails of "home remform": he's going to remodel the second floor of his house into a dojo. He's taken out all the furniture and rented an apartment to store it/live in while the carpenters knock down internal walls, put in wall-to-wall flooring and cover the walls in mirrors. He and the group in Kichijoji want to start regular cutting practices, too, so Niina-gosoke has told me to oversee them, just like I'm doing with the cutting practices in Ichikawa. More cutting!
