There wasn't much snow but still fun for the kids to play with.
Plus they had a shop that made a really nice hamburger.

Well the weekend has gone. It was a good one. Went to Numazu to see some ALTs that are leaving JET and who have helped me a lot with JET projects.
Saturday had a Takoyaki/ yakiniku party at my place. My wife bought a new hotplate and wanted to break it in. It went well. In the evening I watched the All Blacks V South Africa. We won but it was a very tight game and could have gone either way at the start but the ABs started to look much stronger in the second half and did let the Boks come back at them.
Sunday played cricket. Got 67 or something runs. Should've got a hundred but was given out LBW for the 3rd time this year. god cant anyone get it right. like the other 2 i could see where i was standing and where the ball came from and was going to and there is no way that i should've been given out. but once the umpire gives you out you are out. It was really easy too and thougth i could've got a really big score that day. Bowled like shit but i was tired from batting in 29degrees for 2 hours. Plus i hadn't bowled in over a month so i guess i can't complain. go one wicket though.
now today i am sore all over and this is one of the main reasons why i can't really be bothered to play anymore.

Classic All Blacks vs Japan
Well last weekend Ayako and I went to Tokyo to watch the big game with Sasha and Sachiko. It was great to see see some of my rugby heroes play in Japan as it doesn't happen very often. Once in 10 or so years. the score was 36-6 (if i remember right) to the classic All Blacks. Japan did very well but we must remind ourselves that this was the 'Classic' All Blacks and not the All Blacks and the last time Japan played the All blacks in a rugby game the score was 145-19 (a world record at the time). So you can see there is a difference between the two sides.
Anyway, after the game Ayako, Sasha, Sachiko and I went out drinking in Roppongi and watch the Super 14 semi final between the Crusaders and the Bulls. We lost which was very sad but the cool thing was that we watched it with the classic All Blacks. So we were able to have a chat and a beer with some of the greats of world rugby like Merts, Spencer, JK and John Hart. Ayako was able to get a few photos with some of them and we all had a great time apart from the Crusaders losing.
Photos are HERE

Not so interesting weekend.
Well start the weekend off with a night out at karaoke with some friends.
Saturday just relaxed around the house watching TV and doing Internet stuff. In the evening I went out with Ayako and her family and her mother's brother's family for a family dinner. More like a house warming for a her cousin who has just moved into his own apartment but it wasn't at his apartment, so i don't know if you can really can call it a house warming?! After that went back home to watch the rugby. Crusaders vs The force (perth,aust) and what and arse kicking that was. 53-0. The crusaders are looking good at the moment and are slowing picking there game up. Good to see.
Sunday, had a game of cricket in shizuoka against the Paddy Foleys from Tokyo. Always good fun but this time it didnt seem like fun. It feels our team is just in the game to win and it is making things hard for everyone. Lots of people arguing and shit like that.
Sunday night I was all alone as Ayako went to Tokyo with her parents to see her sister's new apartment.

Kytes C.C vs Indian Engineers C.C
well my season isn't getting off to the start i was hoping for and at the moment i am unsure where to start to get it right as we don't have time to practice so the game is the only time to try anything and if you go out cheaply then that is it. lets hope i can sort out my batting woes in the next game.
anyway the kytes lost another warm-up game, this time to the Indian Engineers. it was a good game but our bowling let us down, but it didn't help that we were one short in the field.

18th Kytes vs Wombats
Well we had a our first game of the cricket season and what a cold one it was. we started off with a lost. It wasn'tt that bad but it was against our close rivals the wombats.
The game started with the wombats smashing us all around the park for 296 for 4 or so.
Then we went into bat and were very lucky to make it to 151 all out. if it wasn't for some players finally getting some runs then our total might have been very low, i mean very very low, i mean like under 100 runs low.

My New 40inch Sony LCD TV
Well on Saturday I got my new Sony 40inch TV. Man it is so good and big. I can now hook up my computer to it and watch all the NZTV that I have been downloading. It is so great to catch up on NZTV.
Next is to hook up some really nice speakers to it so that I blast the neighbours with it. hehe
Before and after shots are here
